1. Alternative versions of genes (alleles) account for variation in inherited characters
2. For each character, an organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent
3. If two alleles differ, one is dominant, the other recessive4. The two alleles for each character segregate (separate) during gamete production.

Variations in Mendel’s Laws
In incomplete dominance, F1 hybrids have an appearance in between the phenotypes of the two parents.

Hypercholesterolemia•Dangerously high levels of cholesterol in the blood.•Is a human trait that is incompletely dominant.•Heterozygotes have blood cholesterol levels about 2X normal.•Homozygotes have blood cholesterol levels about 5X normal.

Variations in Mendel’s Laws– Pleiotropy is the impact of a single gene on more than one
character.
Pleiotropy Multiple traits(e.g., sickle-celldisease)

In Drosophila, gene:eyeless
*Black (B) is dominant to brown (b)*Second gene responsible for allowing pigment to be deposited in hair

(e.g., skin color)
– Polygenic inheritance is the additive effects of two or more genes on a single phenotype.

Any gene located on a sex chromosome is called a sex-linked gene.•Most sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome.

How do we account for genetic variation?
*Independent assortment *Crossing over *Random fertilization
Independent Assortment:
Cross over:
