Father's alleles
Remember, that your mom and your dad each contributed one set of alleles to your genome. Therefore, your grandmother and your grandfather on your father's side each contributed a set of alleles to your father. Notice, highlighted in red and blue, that indeed one allele was contributed from each grandparent to the father. It is important, however, to observe each loci given to make sure that the match is correct. |
