Ellie May, a mother with type B blood, has a child with type O blood. She claims that Jethro, who has type A blood, is the father. He claims that he cannot possibly be the father. Further, blood tests ordered by Maury reveal that the father is homozygous. Maury rules that: O It is impossible to reach a decision based on the limited data available. O Ellie May is right and Jethro must pay up, YOU ARE THE FATHER O Ellie May cannot be the real mother of the child, YOU ARE NOT THE MOTHER! O Jethro is right, and Maury screams, YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER!

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.
