Inheritance of alleles that obey Mendel’s laws and follow a strict
dominant/recessive relationship.
simple mendelian
This pattern involves the inheritance of genes that are located on
the X chromosome.
x-linked
: This pattern occurs when a dominant phenotype is not expressed
even though an individual carries a dominant allele.
incomplete penetrance
This pattern occurs when the heterozygote has a phenotype that is intermediate between either corresponding homozygote.
incomplete dominance
This pattern occurs when the heterozygote has a trait that is more beneficial than either homozygote
overdominance
This pattern occurs when the heterozygote expresses both alleles
simultaneously without forming an intermediate phenotype.
codominance
This pattern refers to the effect of sex on the phenotype of the
individual. Some alleles are recessive in one sex and dominant in the opposite
sex.
sex-influenced inheritance
: In this pattern, a trait occurs in only one of the two sexes. An
example is breast development in mammals.
sex-limited inheritance
has the potential of causing the death of
an organism.
