If two carriers of the gene for albinism marry and have children, then each of their children has a probability of 1/4 of being albino. Let the random variable Y denote the number of their albino children out of all 3 of their children. Then Y follows a binomial(n. p) distribution. Find the values for n and p. n= p=

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.
