Summary of Mendelian Genetics

 Law of Dominance
 Law of Segregation
 Law of Independent
Assortment
 Practice the
MONOHYBRID CROSS
In fruit flies normal wings (W) is
dominant over vestigial wings (w). If
two heterozygous normal winged
fruit fly mated, what would be the
results of the cross?
A. Genotype of Parents
B. Punnett square
C. Genotype ratio
D. Phenotype Ratio
Hornless (H) in cattle is dominant
over horned (h). A homozygous
hornless bull is mated with a
homozygous horned cow. What
will be the genotype and
phenotype of the first generation?
 Red eyes (R) in fruit flies
are dominant over white
eyes (r). If a heterozygous
red eyed fruit fly is
crossed with a
homozygous white eyed
fly, what are the results?
 In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is
dominant over yellow fruit (r). A
plant that is homozygous for red
fruit is crossed with a plant that
has yellow fruit. What would be
the genotypes and phenotype?
 Non-Mendelian Genetics
 Kinds of inheritance that do
not follow Mendel’s
inheritance
 Examples of this:
CODOMINANCE and
INCOMPLETE
DOMINANCE
INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

 In blood types
 CODOMINANCE
 Gene pairs in which neither
allele is dominant over the other
 Both are expressed in the
phenotype
 The resulting organism
(heterozygous) will have a trait
that is in-between
 CODOMINANCE

Examples of this include

 petal coloration in some flower
species,
 curliness of human hair
 CODOMINANCE
 snap dragons and carnations that are
homozygous for a red petal allele are
red
 flowers which are homozygous for a
white petal allele are white
 heterozygous flowers appear pink due
to the lack of dominance between the
red and white color alleles.
 CODOMINANCE
A red carnation is crossed with a
white carnation and the resulting
offspring are all pink (indicating
incomplete dominance). What
would be the result of a cross
between a pink and a white
carnation?
 CODOMINANCE
In Andalusian fowls, black
individuals (B) and white individuals
(W) are homozygous. A
homozygous black bird is crossed
with a homozygous white bird. The
offspring are all bluish-gray. Show
the cross as well as the genotypes
and phenotypes of the parents and
offspring.
