Abstract:
After introducing the notion of hyperstructures about 80 years ago, a number of researches on its applications have been done. This paper can be considered as one of its applications on Biology. It is well known that biological inheritance is related to Mathematics in the sense of probability. In this paper, we consider another relationship between inheritance and Mathematics in which we present a connection between it and hyperstructures. First, we present examples of five different types of Non- Mendelian inheritance and study, for the first time, their relation with hyperstucture theory. Then we make some hypothetical crosses for the n- hybrid case for both simple and incomplete inheritances and study their relations with hyperstructures.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...

Inheritance
Each gene exists in pairs, and the combination of these genes from both parents forms an individual's genotype. This genotype is a blueprint of potential traits. Examples of genotype...
