Study Notes

Patterns of Inheritance

Polygenic inheritance is NOT a Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

Incomplete Dominance

The result of incomplete dominance is an intermediate phenotype, where neither allele is completely dominant.
An example of incomplete dominance is the cross between red and white flowers, resulting in pink flowers.

Codominance

Codominance occurs when both alleles of a gene are expressed equally, resulting in a distinct phenotype.

Mendelian Inheritance

Mendelian inheritance refers to traits linked to single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus.
A Mendelian pattern of inheritance is characterized by traits that follow the laws of segregation and independent assortment.
