In frost moths, two alleles of one gene determine the character difference of spotted versus striped wings and two alleles of a separate, independent gene determine the character difference of orange wing background versus white wing background. The results for four matings of moth phenotypes are shown below.     Number of progeny Mating Parental Phenotypes Spotted/orange Spotted/white Striped /orange Striped  /white 1 spotted/orange x striped/orange 623 0 637 0 2 spotted/white x striped/orange 0 0 0 712 3 spotted/white x striped/orange 122 131 128 133 4 spotted/orange x striped/white 0 0 430 422   6a) Using the information in the table above, assign a letter to each allele (make sure each allele can be uniquely identified, using Uppercase and lowercase and use a unique letter for each trait).

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.
