Honors Biology Chapter 7 Beyond Mendelian Genetics
Many Human Phenotypes Follow Mendelian Pattern One gene / two alleles = 1 trait
Genetic Disorders Rare heritable illnesses • Most lethal disorders are recessive
Some Deleterious Genes Are Sex-Linked • X-linked Recessive • Hemophilia (Bleeders Disease)
X-linked Dominant • Retinitis Pigmentosa
Non-Mendelian GeneticsComplex Patterns of Inheritence • Traits do not segregate according to Mendel’s Laws • X inactivation • Incomplete Dominance • Codominance • Polygenic Traits • Epistasis • Multiple Alleles • Environmental Influences • Others
KaryotypesPrepared from blood, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, placenta
