Photography booths that claim to produce pictures of what a male or female child of any given couple will look like are beginning to appear in arcades throughout the country. A couple enters the booth, a camera takes their pictures, and then a computer program analyzes and blends the morphologies of the two people to produce images of a male child and a female child they might create. In genetic terms, why will the couple be wasting their money if they buy these computer images? (Respond in at least 2 paragraphs)

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.
