Study Notes
Inheritance Patterns
- The inheritance of a single gene with two alleles, one dominant and one recessive, is known as Incomplete Dominance.
- Co-Dominance is the genetic inheritance in which the phenotype of the heterozygote is distinct from and often intermediate to the phenotypes of the homozygotes.
- Polygenic Inheritance describes the inheritance of a trait that is controlled by multiple genes at different loci on different chromosomes.
