Imagine you cross two closely related plant varieties: Maize and teosinte. You hypothesize that different alleles at just 5 genes are responsible for all the trait differences between the two plants. You take two inbred parent lines and cross them together to produce an F1 and then cross two F1 individuals together to produce F2 offspring. What proportion of the offspring do you expect to look exactly like each of the parent lines if your hypothesis is correct? Please show work using punnet squares.

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.
