11.2 More complicated genetics. Question: Are different traits (alleles) joined somehow? Ex) does shape of seed allele affect seed color allele?. F 1 generation = all heterozygous both traits. F 2 generation.

Question: Are different traits (alleles) joined somehow? • Ex) does shape of seed allele affect seed color allele?
Mendel discovered independent assortment - genes for different traits segregate independently during gamete formation. • Traits are not “linked”
11.3 Beyond Dominance • Incomplete Dominance - heterozygous offspring is in between D and R phenotype
Co-dominance - phenotypes of D and R are both clearly expressed
Punnett squares look the same for co- and incomplete dominance
Multiple Alleles - a gene with more than two alleles (ordered most > least dominant) • Ex) human blood type
Polygenic traits - some phenotypes are controlled by 2 or more different genes • Also called gene interaction • Ex) human hair, eye, skin color
