In a container/tub, place 50 pieces of red paper, 50 pieces of pink paper, and 50 pieces of white paper. Let us assume that each color is the phenotypic expression of the genotypes homozygous dominant AA (red), heterozygous Aa (pink), and homozygous recessive aa (white). Without looking, randomly pick 20 pieces of paper from your container/tub and assume that those individuals died upon picking, thus will be removed from your population.     a. What will happen to your genotypic and allelic frequencies if 10 white individuals leave your gene pool and 10 red individuals immigrated to your gene pool? b. What will happen to your genotypic and allelic frequencies if by accident, all 33 red (AA) individuals were wiped out by a catastrophe?

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.
