Mendel’s Explanation Characters controlled by two “factors” These segregate during reproduction One factor is dominant, the other is recessive Y = factor for yellow seed color y = factor for green seed color

Incomplete Dominance Four-o’clocks
31
An intermediate phenotype is shown
32
Incomplete Dominance Three Shades: Dark = DD Medium = DL Light =LL
33
Co-dominance - Both alleles can be expressed For example, red cows crossed with white will generate roan cows. Roan refers to cows that have red coats with white blotches. One allele of the gene codes for an enzyme that functions in the production of the red color. The other allele codes for the gene to make white color. If both alleles are present, both are expressed, resulting in a cow that has some red and some white.
34
Co-dominance AAndalusian Fowl also show this pattern of inheritance. IIf you cross a black (BB) rooster WWith a white (WW) chicken YYou get black+white speckled (BW) offspring
35
Incomplete Dominance vs. Co-Dominance Red and White Camellia Red and White Snapdragons
36
X-Linked Traits A carrier female A normal male
37
X-Linked Traits Some genes are located on the X chromosome. Females receive two alleles for these genes, but males only receive one. In humans, hemophilia and color blindness are sex-linked traits. When doing a Punnet square, use large X's and Y's to denote male and female, use superscript letters to designate the alleles. If the parent is a male, the genotype is automatically known. A colorblind male has to be b, since he only has one allele and colorblindness is recessive. A normal male must then be B Females can be heterozygous for the colorblindness trait - they are called carriers. A female can be BB - normal, Bb - carrier, or bb - colorblind

Gene: Locus & Allele Locus- place on a chromosome, responsible for a character, e.g. seed color Allele- version of a locus, responsible for a trait, e.g. yellow or green

Pleiotropy Locus affects more than one character b ST color and lethality Antenna bifurcata (ab) antenna shape & male sterility

Epistasis

Interaction of alleles at two loci: Locus 1 R = Red pigment r = yellow pigment Locus 2 Y = no chlorophyll y = chlorophyll Four Phenotypes R_Y_ = Red R_yy = Brown rrY_ = Yellow rryy = Green
