Mendelian Genetics: Dominant & Recessive

Review
One allele is DOMINANT over the other
and the dominant allele will totally mask the
recessive allele
genotype: PP genotype: pp genotype: Pp

phenotype: purple phenotype: white phenotype: purple
Review Problem: Dominant & Recessive
In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant over
white flowers (p). Show the cross between two
heterozygous plants.

Non-Mendelian Inheritance Patterns

Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Multiple Alleles
Polygenic Traits
Sex-Linked Traits
Incomplete Dominance
a new phenotype
appears in the heterozygous
condition as a BLEND of the
dominant and recessive
phenotypes. Ex - Dominant Red (RR) + Recessive
White (rr) = Hybrid Pink (Rr)
RR = red rr = white Rr = pink

Problem: Incomplete Dominance
Show the cross between a red and a white flower.

Codominance
in the heterozygous condition, both alleles are expressed
equally with NO blending! Represented by using two
DIFFERENT capital letters.
Example - Sickle Cell Anemia: All Normal Cells (NN) + All
sickled cells (SS) = half normal/half sickle carrier (NS)
NN = SS = sickle cells NS = some of

normal cells each
Codominance Example: Checkered Chickens
BB = all black feathers
WW = all white feathers
BW = both black & white feathers (speckled)
Notice –
NO GRAY!
NO BLEND!
Each feather is
either black or white
Codominance Example: Rhodedendron
R = allele for red flowers
W = allele for white flowers
Cross a homozygous red flower
with a homozygous white
flower.
Codominance Example: Roan cattle
cattle can be
red
(RR – all red hairs)
white
(WW – all white hairs)
roan
(RW – red and white hairs together)
Problem: Codominance in Appaloosa Horses
Gray horses (GG) are codominant to white horses
(WW). The heterozygous horse (GW) is an Appaloosa (a
white horse with gray spots).
Cross a white horse with an appaloosa horse. Give the
genotype and phenotype ratio and percent.
Problem: Codominance in Sickle Cell
Show the cross between an individual with

sickle-cell anemia and another who is a carrier
but not sick.

Multiple Alleles
Sometimes there are more than two alleles present in
the gene pool for a gene. Ex – blood type consists of two
dominant and one recessive allele in humans
Allele A (IA) and
B (IB) are
dominant over
Allele O (i).
(NOTE: You still only
get TWO alleles!!!
One from mom and one
from dad)
Multiple Alleles: Rabbit Fur Colors
Fur colors (determined by 4 alleles):

full color (C), chinchilla (cch), Himalayan (ch), albino (c)
Multiple Alleles: Blood Types (A, B, AB, O)
Rules for Blood Types: (geno = pheno)

A and B are co-dominant (Both show)
IAIA = type A
IBIB = type B
IAIB = type AB
A and B are both dominant over O (Regular dom/rec)
IAi = type A
IBi = type B
ii = type O
Multiple Alleles: Blood Types (A, B, AB, O)

blood and a father who has type AB blood.

type B blood and a father who is heterozygous for type A

Sex-Linked Traits
Non-gender related genes
that are attached to the X
chromosome, but not
found on the Y
chromosome. (Women
have XX so they get two
of these genes. Men have
XY chromosomes so they
only get one copy.)
 examples: red-green
colorblindness,
hemophilia, muscular
dystrophy
Sex-Linked Traits
These disorders are
more common in boys
since girls have a “back
up” X.
In males, there is no
back up to cover a
recessive gene. If they
get an X with the
disorder, they use it.
Girls must inherit
defective Xs from both
parents to have the
disorder, otherwise their
“back up” will kick in.
Sex-Linked Traits
A: 29, B: 45, C: --, D: 26
 Normal vision
A: 70, B: --, C: 5, D: --
 Red-green color blind
A: 70, B: --, C: 5, D: 6
 Red color blind
A: 70, B: --, C: 5, D: 2
 Green color blind
Problem: Sex Linked
Show the cross between a mother whose father was
colorblind and a normal vision man

Polygenic Traits
traits produced by more than one pair of
genes; results in a variety of phenotypes
example: skin color, eye color, height
(No punnett square)
