What is Non-Mendelian Genetics?

Back

Non-Mendelian Genetics refers to patterns of inheritance that do not follow Mendel's laws of inheritance, including concepts like incomplete dominance, codominance, and multiple alleles.

Define Hemophilia.

Back

Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot, leading to excessive bleeding.

What genotype represents a female who is a carrier for hemophilia?

Back

X^H X^h

Front

What is codominance?

Back

Codominance is a genetic scenario where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive.

Front

What is incomplete dominance?

Back

Incomplete dominance is a form of inheritance where the phenotype of a heterozygote is intermediate between the phenotypes of the two homozygotes.

What does the Punnett square represent?

Back

The Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations of a genetic cross.

What is the phenotype of a homozygous dominant individual?

Back

The phenotype of a homozygous dominant individual will express the dominant trait.
