Midphalangeal hair (hair on top of the middlesegment of the fingers) is a common phenotypecaused by a dominant allele M. Homozygotes forthe recessive allele (mm) lack hair on the middlesegment of their fingers. Among 1000 families inwhich both parents had midphalangeal hair, 1853children showed the trait while 209 children did not.Explain this result

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.
