Inheritance of Gene Pairs & Non Mendelian Inheritance Flashcards
Each parent contributes ___ allele to their offspring
1
Combination of 2 alleles
Genotype
Chromosome contains 2 different alleles for a trait
Heterozygous
Chromosome contains 2 identical alleles for a trait
Homozygous
Incomplete Dominance
Non Mendelian Inheritance
Phenotype of the offspring is a blend of phenotypes of the parents
Incomplete Dominance
(RR) red flower is crossed with (WW) white flower and results in (RW) pink flower
Incomplete Dominance
Phenotype of the offspring is a combination of the phenotypes of the parents
Codominance
(BB) black chicken is crossed with (WW) chicken and results in a black and white chicken
Codominance
2 genes are located close to each other on the same chromosome and are inherited together
Linkage
When a gene is located on the X or Y chromosome
Ex. Color Blindness
Sex-Linked Inheritance
