In rural northeast Kansas domesticated cats are becoming wild, and biologists are observing that wildcats occur in three colors.  Fur color is controlled by a single gene that exhibits incomplete dominance.  A homozygous dominant cat is blue (BB), a homozygous recessive cat is red (bb), and a heterozygous wildcat will be purple (Bb).  What would be the expected phenotypes of the offspring if a blue wildcat mates with a red wildcat?  Develop a Punnett square and list the genotypes as well.

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.
