Three autosomal genes are linked along the same chromosome.The distance between gene A and B is 7 mu, the distance betweenB and C is 11 mu, and the distance between A and C is 4 mu. Anindividual that is AA bb CC was crossed to an individual that is aaBB cc to produce heterozygous F1 offspring. The F1 offspring werethen crossed to homozygous aa bb cc individuals to produce F2offspring.Draw the arrangement of the alleles on the chromosomes in theparents and in the F1 offspring.

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.
