1-Gigantism is being traced in a family through a pedigree. Its mode of inheritance is thought to be autosomal recessive. You examine the pedigree and decide that the mode of inheritance is not correct. What is the correct mode of inheritance? 2-Provide 2 pieces of evidence for the mode of inheritance selected for Gigantism. (i.e.- Individual 45 is afflicted and passed it on to all of her offspring, indicating that it is dominant. Or there is a gendered pattern of inheritance seen when Individual 99 passed it on to only his female offspring.)

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.
