Like brown eyes, presence of dimples and cleft chin are dominant traits. Sarah has brown eyes and dimples, but no cleft chin. Her father has blue eyes but no dimples. She just married James who has blue eyes, dimples, and cleft chin. His mother has no cleft chin and his father has no dimples. If they plan to have 4 children, what is the probability of having: 1.all boys with cleft chin?  2. all girls with blue eyes and dimples? 3. 2 children with dimples?

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.
