A=Codominant; B=Codominant; O=Recessive Mary is homozygous for type A blood. Steve is homozygous for type O blood. If they have children, what are the possible phenotypes and genotypes of their children, and what is the probability of each? Mary and Steve have a son, Brad. Brad’s wife, Samantha is heterozygous for type B blood. If they have children, what are the possible phenotypes and genotypes of their children, and what is the probability of each? Stella loves roses and decides to cross her red rose with her white rose. All of the resulting offspring of this cross are pink roses.  What can you say about the red and white alleles as a result of this cross? Stella decides to cross two of the pink roses. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring and the probabilities of each?

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.
