Sickle-cell anemia is a human disorder caused by a recessive allele (HbS) for the hemoglobin gene found on chromosome #11. The normal allele (HbA) is dominant. Mary has sickle-cell anemia, and she marries Steve, who does not have the disease. Mary and Steve have one kid Rosa, who has sickle-cell anemia. What is Steve's genotype? a. HbS Ob. HbSHbS c. HbAHbS Od. HbAHbA Oe. Cannot be determined

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.
