Incomplete dominance is when the dominant trait is not completely dominant over the reccessive trait • Heterozygote produces a mix between the two parental types • Snapdragon example: • RR = Red • RW = Pink • WW = White
Incomplete Dominance r r R R • F1 hybrids have an appearance somewhat in between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties. • Example:snapdragons (flower) • red (RR) x white (rr) • RR = red flower • rr = white flower
Incomplete Dominance r produces the F1 generation Rr Rr R R Rr Rr All Rr = pink (heterozygous pink) r
Codominance occurs if two alleles are dominant and thus both forms of the trait are expressed at the same time. • - Also knowns as multiple alleles • Example: blood type • 1. type A = AA or AO • 2. type B = BB or BO • 3. type AB = AB (both A and B dominate) • 4. type O = OO
Codominance Problem A O AB BO B 2:4 or 50% = AB (type AB) 2:4 or 50% = BO (type B) B AB BO • Example: homozygous male Type B (BB) • x heterozygous female Type A (AO)
Another Codominance Problem A B AO BO O 2:4 or 50% = AO (type A) 2:4 or 50% = BO (type B) O AO BO • Example:male Type O (OO) x female type AB (AB)
Sex-linked Traits • - Traits (genes) located on the sex chromosomes • - Sex chromosomes are X and Y • - XX genotype for females • - XY genotype for males • - Many sex-linked traits are carried on X chromosome only
Sex-linked Traits fruit fly eye color XX chromosome - female Xy chromosome - male Example: Eye color in fruit flies Sex Chromosomes
Sex-linked Trait Problem Xr Xr XR Y • Example: Eye color in fruit flies • (red-eyed male) x (white-eyed female)XRY x XrXr • Remember: the Y chromosome in males does not carry traits. • RR = red eyed • Rr = red eyed • rr = white eyed • XY = male • XX = female
Sex-linked Trait Solution: Xr Xr XR Xr XR Xr XR Y Xr Y Xr Y 50% red eyedfemale (XRXr) 50% white eyed male (XrY)
Female Carriers • Males only have one X chromosome while females have two X chromosomes • This means females have less of a chance of expressing the sex-linked trait, they are usually carriers of sex-linked traits • Males are more likely to express the sex-linked trait
