Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism caused by a dominant, autosomal allele that diminishes bone growth in a dose dependent manner where homozygosity results in termination. When two people with achondroplasia have a child, what is the probability that their third child will be born without achondroplasia? O 1/3 or 0.33 O 9/64 or 0.14 O 1/4 or 0.25 O There is no way this could happen O 27/64 or 0.42

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.
