The identity of Kim's biological father is unknown, but it is thought to be either Kevin or Thomas. To determine which of the two men it is, blood typing of all the persons involved was performed. Here are the results of the blood tests, including the phenotypes and possible genotypes of each person: Rachel (mother) Type AB; genotype IA, IB Kim (child) Type A; genotype is either IA, IA (if homozygous) or IA, i (if heterozygous) Kevin (alleged father #1) Type A; genotype is either IA,IA if homozygous or IA, i if heterozygous Thomas (alleged father #2) Type O; genotype is ii There are 2 DNA bands in the "fingerprint" of each person tested: mother, child, alleged father 1, and alleged father 2. Why are there two bands for each person and not three?

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.
