Practice question
Question
A female cat with a mutant phenotype was bred with a wild-type male cat. All progeny (4 males and 4 females) show the mutant phenotype. On the other hand, all progeny (4 males and 4 females) from the reciprocal cross between a mutant male and a wild-type female show the wild-type phenotype. Which of the following explain the inheritance pattern of the mutation?
Explanation
In genetics, Mendelian segregation dictates that allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Therefore Mitochondrial inheritance is correct as it follows segregation and linkage principles, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
