| Hello, you must be the new student in our class. My name is Joe. Why do you have feet on your ears and hands on your feet? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Hello, Joe, my name is Bill. My father has monster disease and my mother does not. I inherited this from my father. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
Bill's dad's genes are Dn. D is for monster and n is for human. Bill's mom's genes are nn because she is all human no diseases. Bill's dad's gene D is a dominant allele. So Bill has monster disease.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| I inherited my human like face from my mom. I have because my father's gene was dominant when my parents had me. | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| Yes, I understand. You have inherited your father's genes. Do you have siblings that inherited your mother's genes? | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
Bill's monster sister inherited the same genes as him and Bill's human brother and sister inherited his mother's genes nn. This is called Autosomal Dominant Inheritance.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Yes, I have other siblings. I have a beautiful sister that has monster disease and looks like me, a sister that does not have monster disease, and a brother that does not have monster disease. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Oh, I understand this. I real live biology lesson. This is called Autosomal Dominant Inheritance where your father's genes affected 50% of his children. | |
