What are the 3 Non-Mendelian Laws of Inheritance?
Law of Independent Dominance - Law of Co-dominance - Multiple Alleles
Says that everyone has two versions (called alleles) for each trait, that randomly segregate during meiosis.
Law of Segregation
This says that the alleles of two or more different genes are categorized into gametes independently of one another.
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of Independent Assortment was introduced by Gregor Mendel after doing ________ crosses.
Dihybrid Crosses
Law which states that dominant alleles always hide recessive alleles.
Law of Dominance
This occurs when the dominant allele does not completely mask the recessive allele, so an intermediate phenotype is observed and this results to the blending of the two alleles.
Law of Incomplete Dominance
The genetic traits of different alleles of the same gene-locus are both expressed phenotypically. This means that both alleles are seen in the phenotype at the same time.
Law of Co-dominance
This means that genes exist in several different forms.
Law of Multiple Alleles
