Mendel Law Exceptions Biology Standard 3a
Codominance • A condition in which both alleles show up in the phenotype. • Neither allele is recessive.
2) Incomplete Dominance • Heterozygous offspring are in b/t the 2 homozygous phenotypes. Blending!
3) Polygenic Traits • Traits that are controlled by 2 or more genes. • Ex: skin/eye color in humans controlled by > 4 genes. • Creates wide range of trait
4) Crossing Over • Pieces of gene on homologous chromosomes can get swapped during meiosis. • Creates new combos of alleles (differing mom/dad)
Multiple Alleles • Some genes have more than 2 alleles. • Ex: Blood type: A, B, AB, O • But, you still will only get 2 copies of the allele, from mom and dad!
Tie into Protein Synthesis • Traits that show up in phenotype came from DNA exon originally. • DNA mRNA protein (trait)
Gene Linkage • Genes for traits can be inherited together linked. • Each chromosome is actually a group of linked genes. • Ex: red eyes and mini wings on the fruit fly….found on same chromosome.
