In humans, gene A is paternally imprinted. The paternal copy of the gene is methylated and not
expressed. While we know the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents, we do not know the
phenotypes of the children (Yeah, I know...weird). We also do not know from which
grandparents the parents inherited their alleles. (But then again....can you determine this?).
