Codominance

A pattern of inheritance where both parental alleles are expressed equally in the heterozygous offspring.

Incomplete Dominance

Occurs when neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a blended phenotype in the heterozygote.

Incomplete Dominance

Inheritance pattern where the phenotype of a heterozygote is a blend of the phenotypes of both homozygotes.

Study Notes

Inheritance Patterns

  • Co-dominance: occurs when both alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype of the heterozygote, e.g., ABO blood type where both IA (A) and IB (B) genes are dominant and expressed in the phenotype type AB.
  • Multiple Alleles: involves more than two alleles for a particular gene.
  • Polygenic Inheritance: involves the interaction of multiple genes to produce a particular phenotype.
  • Imprinting: involves the unequal expression of genetic material depending on the parent of origin.
  • Crossing Over: involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.

Blood Types

  • Type O blood: results from the combination of alleles ii.
  • ABO Blood Type: co-dominance occurs where both IA (A) and IB (B) genes are dominant and expressed in the phenotype type AB.

Hair Texture

  • Curly and straight hair in humans: incomplete dominance is observed, where the dominant curly hair allele is not fully expressed.

Disease Example

  • Incomplete Dominance: sickle cell anemia is a disease example that demonstrates this concept.

Chromosomes

  • Linkage: when genes are on the same chromosome and inherited together, e.g., in Bateson and Reginald Punnett’s experiment on sweet pea.
  • Linked Genes: phenomenon where two genes on the same chromosome are inherited together.

Phenotype Ratios

  • Cross between true breeds PPLL and ppll: expected phenotype ratio is 1:2:1.
  • F1 Generation: observed frequency of phenotypes in the F1 generation is 3:1 in Bateson and Reginald Punnett’s experiment on sweet pea.
