We calculate the probability of getting a homogygous recessive offspring from two heterozygous parents by multiplying the probability of getting the recessive allele from the first parent (1/2) by the probability of getting the recessive allele from the second parent (1/2) and our result is: 3/4 O 1/4 O 1/2

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.
