Document Summary

Extending mendelian genetics for a single gene. Inheritance of characters by a single gene may deviate from simple mendelian patterns in the following situations: When alleles are not completely dominant or recessive (incomplete dominance) When a gene has more than two alleles. Complete dominance: one allele completely dominates another allele. Phenotypes of heterozygous and dominant homozygote are identical. Incomplete dominance: phenotype of f1 hybrids somewhere between phenotypes of two parent varieties. It blends (red and white parent flowers make pink flower) Codominance: both alleles want to show (such as ab blood type). Two dominant alleles affect phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways. A dysfunctional enzyme causes an accumulation of lipids in the brain. Biochemical level: phenotype (the enzyme activity level) is incompletely dominant. There are three alleles for the abo blood groups and their carbohydrates. Both a or one a and one i. Both are b or one b one i.
