Draw the following pedigree and identify the mode of inheritance (only identify by shading individuals who express the trait). Please provide the genotype for each individual. Remember if you cannot identify whether an individual is TT or Tt please use the T- annotation: The grandmother expresses the trait and the grandfather does not. The first daughter does not express the trait and marries a man who does not express the trait. The second daughter does not express the trait and marries a man who does not express the trait. The son of the first daughter and her husband expresses the trait. The second son of the first daughter and her husband does not express the trait. The second daughter and her husband have twin daughters that do not express the 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.
