Mendel’s Laws Law of Dominance: if the two alleles at a locus differ, then one, the dominant allele, determines the organism′s appearance; the other, the recessive allele, has no noticeable effect on the organism′s appearance Law of Segregation: the two alleles for a heritable character separate (segregate) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes Law of Independent Assortment: each pair of alleles segregates independently of other pairs of alleles during gamete formation

Law of Dominance: if the two alleles at a locus differ, then one, the dominant allele, determines the organism′s appearance; the other, the recessive allele, has no noticeable effect on the organism′s appearanceLaw of Segregation: the two alleles for a heritable character separate (segregate) during gamete formation and end up in different gametesLaw of Independent Assortment: each pair of alleles segregates independently of other pairs of alleles during gamete formation

Bell Work In a type of lizard called anoles brown

skin is dominant to the color green diagram how genes would be expressed in a heterozygous individual with the genotype Bb

In the example above what does B stand for?

Incomplete Dominance

The heterozygote has a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotypes of the two homozygotes.

Example: Petal color in certain flowers.

Codominance The heterozygote expresses both

traits at the same time. Example: roan coat color in cattle

Red “Roan” White

Sex-Linked Inheritance Genes located on sex chromosomes

produce different patterns in males and females.

Females generally have two alleles for these genes.

Males generally have only one allele.

If a male inherits a sex-linked recessive allele from his mother, the allele will be expressed.

Continuous variation Most traits show a range of variation

rather than distinct either/or types This occurs when multiple genes

and environmental factors influence the trait’s expression

Continuous variation is often described with frequency distribution tables.

Polygenic Inheritance

Many genesinfluence a single trait

Page 21: Mendel’s Laws Law of Dominance: if the two alleles at a locus differ, then one, the dominant allele, determines the organism′s appearance; the other, the

Multiple Alleles For many genes, several alleles

exist in the population. This expands the number of

possible genotypes and phenotypes.

Example of Multiple Alleles

Human blood type is determined by three alleles: A, B, & O.

IA & IB are codominant. i is recessive.

Linked Genes Genes located on the

same chromosome tend to be inherited together

Such genes are said to be “linked genes.”

When genes are linked, they do not assort independently.
