Albinism in humans is inherited as a simple recessive trait. For the Following families, determine the genotypes of the parents and spring When two alternative genotypes are possible, list both.) Construct a pedigree of the families in (b) and (c). Suppose that one of the normal children in (b) and one of the albino children in (c) become parents of eight children. Add these children to the pedigree, predicting their phenotypes (normal or albino).

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.
