2. Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes in humans. Having a peaked hairline is dominant over having a smooth hairline in humans. Two such humans decide to have offspring – who will alse be human, because you know – genes. One of the parents has blue eyes and is heterozygous for a peaked hairline.

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.
