Questions and Answers

What is the definition of Mendelian genetics?

Refers to genes that have co-dominance

Refers to genes that have incomplete dominance

Refers to one gene that dictates one characteristic and has two alleles: one dominant allele and one recessive allele (correct)

Refers to multiple genes dictating one characteristic with multiple alleles

What is an example of incomplete dominance in humans mentioned in the text?

Hemophilia

Sickle cell anemia

Hypercholesterolemia (correct)

Cystic fibrosis

What is the characteristic of incomplete dominance?

Both alleles are dominant (correct)

Both alleles are recessive

One allele is dominant and the other is recessive

One allele completely masks the expression of the other

Study Notes

Mendelian Genetics

Definition: The study of the inheritance of traits based on the laws of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel, which states that each trait is determined by a single gene with two alleles (different forms of the gene)

Incomplete Dominance

Example in humans: Free earlobe vs. attached earlobe
Characteristic: The dominant allele does not completely mask the effect of the recessive allele, resulting in a combination of both traits

Comparison to Complex Genetics

Mendelian genetics: One gene controls one trait, with two alleles influencing the trait
Complex genetics: Multiple genes interact to influence a single trait, with many alleles contributing to the trait

Hypercholesterolemia

Risk factor: High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which can lead to cardiovascular disease
