Geneticists study pedigrees to look for patterns in how traits are passed on. This helps them learn more about a trait, such as whether it is inherited in a dominant or recessive manner.   Examine the smaller pedigree shown here (look at picture). Based on this pedigree, does this trait appear to be dominant or recessive?   Dominant   Recessive

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.
