Non-Mendelian Genetics
• Thus far, all of the genes which we have studied have had only 2 possible forms or ALLELES.
• (Brown or white, tall or short, freckled or not.)
• One of each of the allele pair was the DOMINANT allele and one the RECESSIVE.
• Things are about to become more complicated, because some traits are inherited in a different manner.
Non-Mendelian
• Patterns of inheritance that do NOT follow Mendel’s laws. – Incomplete dominance– Co-dominance– Multiple Alleles– Sex-linked inheritance– Polygenic traits
Continuous Variation (Polygenic Traits)
• Multiple genes are involved • Produces many forms of the trait• Examples
– Eye color– Skin color– Hair color– Height
Multiple Alleles and Codominance
Multiple Alleles: • Genes that exist in more than TWO
distinct forms, or have more than 2 alleles.
Codominance: • Cases of multiple alleles in which MORE
THAN ONE of the alleles than is dominant.• If 2 different dominant alleles are present,
THEY WILL BOTH BE EXPRESSED. • They will not blend as in incomplete
dominance.
Other Types of Heredity Patterns
• Codominance – can see both alleles at the same time.– Roan coats in horses
• Some white hairs, some red hairs
Multiple Alleles
• Blood Types in Humans– Single gene, but four phenotypes
• Type A can be AA or Ao• Type B can be BB or Bo• Type AB only AB (codominant pattern here)• Type O only oo (both recessive)
– All 3 blood types are dominant to O
Human Blood TypesThe inheritance of HUMAN BLOOD TYPES
involves both multiple alleles and codominance. Human blood types: • There are FOUR human blood types. • There are THREE alleles for human blood type:
A, B, and O• Two of the alleles are CODOMINANT, one is
recessive. • The alleles are written in the following form: IA,
IB, i (i=O)• The I’s are used to show which alleles are
dominant. • You MUST use both the I’s and the A’s and B’s
when writing genotypes for blood types.
Genotypes for Human Blood Types
• Type A blood: – IAIA or IAi
• Type B blood:– IBIB or IBi
• Type AB blood:– IAIB
• Type O blood: – ii

How to make a blood type Punnett Square
• Punnett Square represents a cross (mating) between a male (on the left side) with blood type IA IB, and a female, (top of square), with blood type A, genotype IAi.1.)What are the possible blood types for the offspring? 2.)What are the ratios or percentages for each possible blood type from this cross? 3.)What blood type is not possible from this cross

1.)What are the possible blood types for the offspring? 2.)What are the ratios or percentages for each possible blood type from this cross? 3.)What blood type is not possible from this cross 1. A: AB: B
2. 50% A: 25% AB: B 25%
3. O
Another practice problems
• 1. If a woman with type AB blood has a child with a man who has type O blood, then what are the possible blood types of the offspring? (Show your work with a Punnett square.)
Cross= IAIB * ii
