The pedigree shown below is from a family with albinism. Albinism is a genetic condition that occurs when the body is unable to make or distribute melanin, a pigment that gives color to skin, hair, and the iris of the eye. The pedigree shown below is from a family with albinism. Analyze the pedigree to determine whether albinism is inherited in a dominant or recessive fashion, and then apply the correct genotypes to individuals 1-1, 1-2, II-2, and II-5. ||| aa Aa 1 3 6 A_ 5 6 7 8 9 AA 10 Aa male female affected individual !

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.
