Study Notes
Dihybrid Cross
- A dihybrid cross involves two traits simultaneously.
- In a dihybrid cross, 2^4 = 16 different allele combinations can be produced in the offspring.
Inheritance Patterns
- Incomplete dominance results in a heterozygote showing both traits equally.
- Codominance occurs when two alleles are equally expressed, as seen in ABO blood typing.
Flower Color in Snapdragons
- The phenotype of the heterozygote for flower color in snapdragons is a blending of the two colors.
X-Linked Traits
- X-linked traits are located on the X chromosome.
- In an X-linked recessive trait, if the mother is a carrier, there is a 50% chance of her sons being affected.
- In an X-linked recessive trait, if the dad is affected and the mum is not a carrier, all daughters will be carriers and none of the sons will be affected.
- In an X-linked dominant trait, if the mother is the carrier of a gene, all sons will be affected.
- In an X-linked dominant trait, if the father is the carrier of a gene, none of the sons will be affected.
ABO Blood Typing
- ABO blood typing involves codominant alleles.
- The presence of both sugars A and B indicates type AB blood.
- Type O blood is the universal donor.
DNA Fingerprinting
- DNA fingerprinting is based on identifying individuals through unique DNA patterns.
- A child's DNA bands should contain a combination of their parents' bands.
Blood Type Inheritance
- The expected percentage of a couple's children to have type AB blood depends on the genotypes of the parents.
- If a person receives blood with an antigen that their plasma contains the antibody for, an immune response will occur.
- A mother has a 50% chance of passing an X-linked recessive trait to her daughters.
Roan Cattle
- Roan cattle have a mixture of two colors, resulting from incomplete dominance.
