Mendelian and Non Mendelian Inheritance

A version of a gene that masks or hides the other variety by producing a functioning protein

• Mendelian Trait

• Recessive Trait

• Dominant Trait

• Homozygous

A version of a gene that gets masked or hidden

• Mendelian Trait

• Recessive Trait

• Dominant Trait

• Homozygous

Both alleles are different

Example: Bb

• Homozygous

• Heterozygous

• Genotype

• Phenotype

An allele is

• The physical characteristic that is seen

• Likelihood that a particular genetic event will occur

• A version of a gene / different common forms of one particular gene

• Diagram showing the gene combinations that might result from a genetic cross

Both alleles are the same

Example: BB or bb

• Homozygous

• Heterozygous

• Genotype

• Phenotype

The genetic makeup that leads to the trait - the alleles

• Homozygous

• Heterozygous

• Genotype

• Phenotype
