Learning Target
 Be able to explain deviations from
Mendel’s model of inheritance of traits.
 Be able to describe representations of
an example of inheritance patterns that
cannot be explained by Mendel’s model
of the inheritance of traits.

Incomplete dominance
 Heterozygote shows an intermediate,
blended phenotype

example:
 RR = red flowers RR
 rr = white flowers WW
 Rr = pink flowers RW

Codominance
 There are two or more alleles that are
dominant in a phenotype.
 Both alleles are expressed in
heterozygous condition.

AP Biology
Ex: Red – RR, white – WW, red and
white - RW
Multiple Alleles
 2 alleles affect the phenotype equally &
separately
not blended phenotype
 human ABO blood groups
 3 alleles

 IA, IB, i
 IA & IB alleles are co-dominant
 glycoprotein antigens on RBC
 IAIB = both antigens are produced
 i allele recessive to both
AP Biology
Polygenic inheritance
 Some phenotypes determined by
additive effects of 2 or more genes on a
single characteristic
phenotypes on a continuum
 human traits

 skin color
 height
 weight
 intelligence
 behaviors
AP Biology
Sex linked traits
1910 | 1933
 Genes are on sex chromosomes



as opposed to autosomal chromosomes
first discovered by T.H. Morgan at Columbia U.
Drosophila breeding
 good genetic subject
 prolific
 2 week generations
 4 pairs of chromosomes
 XX=female, XY=male

Genetics of Sex
 In humans & other mammals, there are 2
sex chromosomes: X & Y

2 X chromosomes
 develop as a female: XX
 gene redundancy,
like autosomal chromosomes

an X & Y chromosome

Genes on sex chromosomes
 Y chromosome

few genes other than SRY
 sex-determining region
 master regulator for maleness
 turns on genes for production of male hormones
 X chromosome

traits other than sex determination
 mutations: (all are recessive)
 hemophilia
 Duchenne muscular dystrophy
 color-blindness

X-inactivation
 Female mammals inherit 2 X chromosomes

one X becomes inactivated during
embryonic development
 condenses into compact object = Barr body
 which X becomes Barr body is random

Environmental effects
 Phenotype is controlled by
both environment & genes
Human skin color is influenced
by both genetics &
environmental conditions
Coat color in arctic
fox influenced by
heat sensitive alleles

Pedigree Analysis
 A pedigree is a family tree that describes

the interrelationships of parents and
children across generations
Inheritance patterns of particular traits can
be traced and described using pedigrees
