Complex Inheritance Patterns

Complex Inheritance

We will understand complex inheritance concepts.​

​

I will demonstrate how to predict offspring outcomes considering different inheritance patterns.

Incomplete

and

Codominance

Incomplete Dominance

-The heterozygous phenotype is a mixture of the two homozygous phenotypes
-heterozygous becomes a 3rd distinct phenotype

-Neither allele is completely dominant nor completely recessive

Multiple Choice

Incomplete dominance means there are how many different phenotypes possible from the combination of two alleles.

• One

• Two

• Three

Codominance

-Both alleles of the gene and traits are fully and separately expressed

-Both traits in heterozygous are expressed

-Most common example: Blood Typing
