The ability to touch your nose with the tip of your tongue is a dominant genetic trait. And red hair shows incomplete dominance with blonde hair, with the heterozygous phenotype being strawberry blonde. A woman with strawberry blonde hair who is able to touch her nose with her tongue (but her mother could not) is married to a man whose mother had red hair and his father had blonde hair, and he is heterozygous for nose-touching ability. 1.

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.
