Consult the pedigree shown below. Homozygous for either allele is possible, and both alleles are frequent in the population. Alleles are fully penetrant and show no variable expressivity. Answer the following two questions based on the pedigree and this information. What is the mode of inheritance for the hypothetical trait? What is the probability that the next child of couple II.2 and II.3 (marked with the arrow) would show the hypothetical trait? Please answer as a fraction.

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.
