Heavenly Father,

Grant me each day the desire to do my best, To grow

mentally and morally as well as physically,
To be kind and helpful to my classmates and
teachers,
To be honest with myself as well as with others,
Help me to be good sport and smile when I lose as
well as when I win,
Teach me the value of true friendship, Help me
always to conduct myself so as to bring credit to my
school.
AMEN

 Non-Mendelian Patterns
of Inheritance
 Describethe location of
genes in chromosomes

 Explain
the different
patterns of Non-
Mendelian inheritance
Genetics is the study of
heredity.
 Heredity is a biological process
whereby a parent passes certain
genes onto their children or
offspring.
Every child inherits genes
from both of their biological
parents and these genes, in turn,
express specific traits.
Punnett Square – the method by
which we can determine the
possible genotypes and
phenotypes when two parents
are crossed.
Phenotype – refers to the
physical expression of the
character (red, white and pink
for the color of the flower).
Genotype – describe the
genes of the individual
(FR, FW, FRFW).
Homozygous – gene pairs are
made up of identical gene.
Heterozygous – gene pairs
that are made up of dissimilar
genes.

Characters P1 Generation F1 Generation
Color of seed Yellow x Green Yellow
Flower color Purple x White Purple
Plant height Tall x Dwarf Tall

Dominant or Recessive?
Incomplete Dominance
- occurs when the
phenotype of the offspring is
somewhere in between the
phenotypes of both parents
- a completely dominant
allele does not occur.
Allele-one of a number of
different forms of a gene
example: G and g for seed
color
Gametes-specialized cell
involved in sexual
reproduction
Prove how the following flower color was
produced in the F1 and F2 generation.

Codominance
-occurs when both
alleles are expressed
equally in the phenotype
of the heterozygote
Objectives:
Listthe genotypes of the bull and
and cow in the given problem

square
Give phenotypic percentages of the
offspring
