Independent Assortment The 2 Factor Cross: F1 RRYY x rryy What does it give us? The 2 Factor Cross: F2 What does it give us?
Mendel’s Principles • Genes are passed on from parents to their offspring • In the case when there are 2 or more alleles for one gene, one may be dominant and one recessive • Segregation of genes happens during meiosis • The alleles that are segregated, segregate independently
Incomplete Dominance • One allele is not completely dominant over another
Co dominance • Both alleles contribute to the phenotype
Multiple alleles • More than two alleles control a trait
Polygenic Traits • Traits are controlled by 2 or more genes • Eg. Eye color • Skin color (4 genes)
