Human Inheritance-text pp 106-110 i) Dominance and recessive- ii) Co dominance – Human Blood groups Other Types of inheritance iii) Single Gene-Multiple alleles (Human Eye Colour) iv) Using Pedigrees v) Gender determination vi) Sex Linkage – X Linked
2
i) Recessive trait
3
Dwarfism - dominant
4
Dominant does not mean you will see lots of examples automatically in populations of individuals. It might be that it is a rare dominant form of a gene (allele) eg; dwarfism. The gene is said to have a low frequency in the human population Similarly recessive traits can be quite common in populations where the trait has a high frequency eg blue eyes in northern European populations eg; Danish, Swedish etc.

ii)Co dominance – Human Blood groups Both Alleles are expressed in the phenotype
12
iii)Single Gene Inheritance-Multiple Alleles e.g Human Eye Colour

iv)Using Pedigrees
15
Create Your own Pedigree for ear lobe attachment
17
v)Gender Determination
18
vi)Sex Linked Diseases eg Colour Blindness(can you see the number)
