Non-Mendelian Inheritance

A species of plant produces different colors of flowers. Red, blue and purple. When the genes of the flowers are studied, the Red flowers have a RR genotype, the Blue flowers have a BB genotype, and the Purple flowers have a RB genotype. What pattern of inheritance does this follow?

• Mendelian

• Incomplete Dominance

• Codominance

• Sex-Linked

In pea plants, Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. In a heterozygous individual, the flower is purple. The only way a flower can be white is if it has the 2 recessive alleles. What pattern of inheritance does this follow?

• Mendelian

• Incomplete Dominance

• Codominance

• Sex-Linked

A female is a carrier of a sex-linked disease (muscular dystrophy) but does not have the disease. She has a child with a healthy man (not a carrier). Make a punnett square and determine what is the probability that they would have a daughter with the disease?
