The lateral malleolus found on the distal lateral surface of the fibula is responsible for the bony bulge on the lower leg.
The lateral malleolus is the prominence on the outer or lateral side of the ankle. It is pyramidal in form and somewhat flattened. In clinical significance, a bimalleolar fracture is an ankle fracture that involves both the medial and lateral malleolus. This condition is more common in women especially the 60 year old age group. Another clinical condition of the said anatomical structure is the trimalleolar fracture which involves the lateral, medial, and the distal posterior aspect of the tibia or the posterior malleolus. This is primarily caused by ligament damage and dislocation.

In his experiment mendel first crossed tall and short peas plant and noticed that the F1 plants were all tall. in the second experiment he crossed the the F1 plants and noticed that short plants reappeared in the rate of 25% in F2 generation. in his third experiment he crossed he crossed F2 plants and noticed that when he crossed some tall plants with the shot plants the F3 generation contained short plant in frequency of 50%. after this observations mendel concluded that there were genes that could be only expressed in homozygous state but not in heterozygous state. these genes were later referred to as recessive alleles wheres the genes that prevented the expression of recessive genes were later referred to as dominant genes.
