In cattle, coats may be solid white, solid black, or black-and-whitespotted. When true-breeding solid whites are mated with truebreeding solid blacks, the F1 generation consists of all solid white individuals. After many F1 * F1 matings, the following ratio was observed in the F2 generation: 12/16 solid white3/16 black-and-white spotted1/16 solid black Explain the mode of inheritance governing coat color by determining how many gene pairs are involved and which genotypes yield which phenotypes. Is it possible to isolate a true-breeding strain of black-and-white spotted cattle? If so, what genotype would they have? If not, explain why not.

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.
