Types of Inheritances I Pp 183-184, 244
Single gene traits Controlled by only one gene - complete, incomplete, and codominant EX. Huntington Disease (D/d), Sickle Cell Anemia (N/S) , Cystic Fibrosis (R/r)
Complete Dominance
Complete Dominance One allele is completely dominant over the other In the heterozygous phenotype the dominant masks the recessive
Incomplete Dominance
Incomplete Dominance Dominant allele is unable to completely mask the recessive allele The heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate (or blend) of the two 3 phenotypes and 3 genotypes
Sickle Cell Anemia
Codominance
Codominance Both alleles are expressed An individual that is heterozygous shows both traits at once 3 phenotypes and 3 genotypes N S N S
