She claims that the hospital ofed and mixed up her baby with someone else's baby. Mr. Krabbs is homozygous for his tall eyeballs, while s wife is heterozygous for her tall eyeballs. Some members of her family have short eyes, which is the cessive trait. Create a Punnett square using T for the dominant gene and t for the recessive one. A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children. B. Did the hospital make a mistake? Explain your answer.

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.
