No, it is very impossible to have a child with straight hair. b. Yes, it is possible for their offspring to have straight hair if the mother also has black hair. c. Yes, all of their offspring will have straight hair. d. Yes, the parents will have offspring with straight hair if the parents are heterozygous for traits. e. Yes, the parents will have offspring with straight hair if the parents are homozygous for the trait.

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.
