Complex Patterns of Inheritance
I. Incomplete Dominance• An individual displays a trait that is
intermediate between the two parents
• Example: a red snapdragon
crossed with a white
snapdragon produces
pink offspring
Red = RR, White = WW, Pink = RW
Make a Punnett square for a red plant crossed with a white plant

II. Codominance
• Two dominant alleles are expressed at the same time
• Roan coat color in horses or cows is an example
• A roan horse has both red and white hairs
• Roan has red and white hairs
Parents
Codominancein chicken feather color.
Black and White feathers
III. Multiple Alleles• Traits controlled by more than 2 alleles.
• Examples are pigeon feather colors
and fur color in many animals.
Coat color in rabbits
Phenotype Allele Pattern of Inheritance
Dark gray coat C Dominant to all other alleles
Chinchilla (silver-gray)
cch Dominant to Himalayan and white
Himalayan
(white with dark ears)
ch
Dominant to white
White c recessive
1. List all possible genotypes for a: a) dark gray-coated rabbit CC, Ccch, Cch, Cc b) chinchilla rabbit cchcch, cchch, cchc c) Himalayan rabbit chch, chc d) white rabbit cc
2. Predict the phenotype for a rabbit with a chcch genotype
chinchilla Predict the phenotype for a rabbit with a
Cch genotype dark gray3. Would it be possible to obtain white
rabbits if one parent is white and the other is chinchilla?
Yes, if the chinchilla parent has a white allele
4. Would it be possible to obtain chinchilla rabbits if one parent is Himalayan and the other is white?
No, because chinchilla is dominant to both Himalayan and white, so the allele couldn’t be “hiding”.
5. A chinchilla rabbit is mated with a Himalayan. Some offspring are white. What are the parents’ genotypes?
Chinchilla is cchc and Himalayan is chc .
IV. Sex-linked traits
• A sex-linked trait is a trait whose allele is located on either the X or Y chromosome.
A) Hairy Ears are caused by a gene on the Y Chromosome
B) Most sex-linked traits on X chromosome are recessive
• Examples include: hemophilia, red-green colorblindness, and a form of muscular dystrophy
People with red-green color blindness see the number 35, while people with normal vision see the
number 57
Hemophilia
• A disorder in which the blood does not clot properly
• Sex-linked recessive (on the X chromosome)• Males receive the hemophilia gene from their
mothers
Extensive bruising of
the left forearm
and hand in a patient
with hemophilia.
Genotypes for females
XHXH = normal blood clotting, non-carrier
XHXh = normal blood clotting, carrier of gene
XhXh = female with hemophilia
Queen Victoria of the
United Kingdom was a
carrier of hemophilia
Genotypes for Males
• XHY = normal blood clotting
• XhY = male with hemophilia
• Tsarevich Alexei of Russia
had hemophilia

V. Polygenic traits• Traits that are influenced by 2 or more
genes
• Examples include human height, weight, hair color, eye color, and skin color
Coat color in Labrador retrievers
Coat color in Labrador retrievers
Is it possible for two chocolate lab
parents to have black lab offspring?
VI. Traits influenced by the environment.
• Color of hydrangea flowers (blue in acidic soil, pink in basic soil)
• Color of arctic fox
• Human height, skin color, behavior
