I. OBJECTIVES At the end of the lesson the learners must be able to:
1. Identify characters whose inheritance does not conform with predicted outcomes
based on Mendel’s laws of inheritance; and
2. Solve genetic problems related to incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple
alleles, and sex-linked traits.
Term Meaning
Incomplete Pattern of heredity in which one allele is not
Dominance completely dominant over another
Codominance Pattern of heredity in which both alleles are
Simultaneously expressed in the heterozygote
Multiple alleles A gene that is controlled by more than two alleles
Pleiotropy When one gene affects multiple characteristics
Lethal allele Allele that results in the death of an individual
Polygenic trait Traits that are controlled by multiple genes
The learners will be given different activities so that they can explore the lesson. They
will be able to analyze monohybrid crosses involving incomplete dominance,
codominance, and sex linkage. They will also describe the complex patterns of in-
heritance and analyze monohybrid crosses of blood types.
In their notebook, the learners will answer the Learning Task No.1
Learning Task 1: Examine the sample problem given below. Use the same
genotypes to determine the offspring of the crosses between X bY male and
female with XbXb. Find the genotypes, phenotypes, genotypic and phenotypic
ratio of the offspring.

XBY Male normal
XbY Male bald
Phenotypic Ratio: 25% female normal, 25% female bald; 25% male normal and 25%
male bald
The learners will answer the Learning Task No. 2 by reading the handout about
exploring snapdragon. They will answer the guide questions in their notebook.
Learning Task 2:
Snapdragons
In this activity you will investigate the genetic trait of a flower color in snapdragons
which does not follow Mendel’s Law of Dominance
Recalling Mendel’s Law of Dominance, one allele can mask the expression of
another allele when they are joint together. Therefore, if a person has a heterozygous
genotype (i.e. one dominant allele and one recessive allele), he/she will show the
dominant phenotype (i.e. physical trait).
In snapdragons, there are two alleles for flower color - one coding for red color and
one coding for white color. When purebred red plants and purebred white plants are
crossed, the resulting offspring (i.e. the F1 generation) are all pink. When the pink
offspring are crossed to create a third generation (i.e. the F2 generation), 25% of the
offspring are red, 50% are pink, and 25% are white. These results are summarized in the
next page.
Guide Questions:
1. State Non-Mendelian`s Law of Inheritance.
2. What are the two alleles for flower color in snapdragon?
In their notebook, the learners will answer the Learning Task 3. “Exploring
Snapdragon”. Given the genotypes and phenotypes of flower color for P and F1,
they will solve for the genotypes and phenotypes of F2 generation. They will prove
how the given flower color was produced in the F1 and F2 generation.
Learning Task 3:
Exploring Snapdragons
Prove how the following flower color was produced in the F 1 and F2 generation.
Legend:
P (parent) Red x White
Red flower - FR
F1 100% Pink
White flower - Fw
F2 25% Red
50% Pink Pink flower - FRFW
FR FR

The learners will do the Learning Task No. 4 by answering the following
questions. They will write their answers on their notebook.
Learning Task 4:
Guide Questions
1. Based on the results of the genetic crosses, why do you think the red and white
flower alleles can “interact with one another? Explain both the F1 and F2
generations.
2. How are the results of the crosses differ if the red allele was dominant over the
white allele? Explain both the F1 and F2 generations.

C. Engagement What is More?
The learners will answer the Learning Task No.5 by reading and understanding the
pattern of inheritance in multiple alleles. They will answer the guide question in their
notebook.
Learning Task 5:
Multiple Alleles
Mendel studied just two alleles of his pea genes, but real populations of-ten
has multiple alleles of a given gene. In this activity you will learn how to cross the
gene for coat color in rabbits (the C gene) which comes in four color
alleles (C, Cch, Ch, c) as shown by the figure below.
Using the given genotypes, find the F1 and F2 generation of the crossed between black
rabbit and chinchilla, the crossed of himalayan and albino. Use the Punnett Squares
below to guide you.
Supplementary Activity
The learners will do Activity by identifying whether the trait is Incomplete
Dominance, Codominance, Multiple Alleles or Sex-related Inheritance based on the
given set of examples.
