Each male parent received the allele in boldface type from his mother and the underlined one from his father. Dashes indicate offspring genotypes not expected to be present under standard diploid Mendelian inheritance. In every case, the male only transmitted the allele he inherited from his mother to offspring. (Note that cross 6-2 is not included in Table 1 as all offspring from this cross were expected to be heterozygous—parents were AA*aa).
