4. An albino corn snake is crossed with a normal-coloredcorn snake. The offspring are all normal-colored.When these first-generation progeny snakes arecrossed among themselves, they produce 32 normalcolored snakes and 10 albino snakes.a.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
