5. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, very dark(ebony) body color is determined by the e allele. Thee+ allele produces the normal wild-type, honeycolored body. In heterozygotes for the two alleles (butnot in e+e+ homozygotes), a dark marking called thetrident can be seen on the thorax, but otherwise thebody is honey-colored. The e+ snd e alleles are thusconsidered to be incompletely dominant.a. When female e+e+ flies are crossed to male e+eflies, what is the probability that progeny will havethe dark trident marking?b. Animals with the trident marking mate amongthemselves. Of 300 progeny, how many would beexpected to have a trident, how many ebony bodies, and how many honey-colored bodies?

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.
