👉 Mid-parentage is a concept in genetics and molecular biology that describes how genes are inherited from one parent to another. It involves the transmission of genetic material between two parents, with the offspring having half their DNA from each parent. This means that if one parent has a dominant gene for a trait, the child will have a corresponding recessive allele for that trait (i.e., they will be homozygous recessive). If one parent has an X-linked recessive trait, the child will
