WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE PHENOTYPE

OF THE TWO PICTURES?

 WHAT NON-
MENDELIAN
PRINCIPLE IS
INVOLVE?
 Codominance
A condition in which both alleles of a gene are expressed
in heterozygous offspring.
 CODOMINANCE
• THIS RESULTS WHEN ONE ALLELE IS NOT
DOMINANT OVER THE OTHER. THE RESULTING
HETEROZYGOTES EXHIBIT THE TRAITS OF
BOTH PARENTS.
• TWO ALLELES ARE BOTH EXPRESSED AS A
DOMINANT PHENOTYPE
• COAT COLOR IN COWS
• CRCR: RED
• CWCW: WHITE
• CRCW: ROAN, WHITE WITH RED SPOTS (NOT
PINK!)
 CODOMINANCE OCCURS
IN:
• SHORTHORN COW (WHITE + RED)
• SPECKLED ROOSTERS (WHITE +
BLACK)
• HUMAN BLOOD TYPING (AB)
• TABBY CATS (BLACK AND TAN FUR)
 PERFORM
ACTIVITY #2 :
MYSTERY
BULL
IN LEARNER’S MATERIAL P. 33
 OBJECTIVES:
 LIST THE
GENOTYPES OF THE BULL AND COW IN THE GIVEN PROBLEM
 DIAGRAM AND COMPLETE A PUNNETT SQUARE
 GIVE PHENOTYPIC PERCENTAGES OF THE OFFSPRING
MANG MARCELINO OWNS PUREBRED RED COWS. IN HIS FARM HE NOTICED THAT AFTER A
TYPHOON SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, ALL OF THE FENCES THAT SEPARATE HIS CATTLE FROM HIS
NEIGHBOR’S CATTLE WERE DESTROYED. DURING THE TIME THAT THE FENCES WERE DOWN, THREE
BULLS, ONE FROM EACH NEIGHBOR, MINGLED WITH HIS COWS. FOR AWHILE, HE THOUGHT THAT
NONE OF THE BULLS FOUND HIS COWS, BUT OVER THE MONTHS, HE NOTICED THAT ALL OF HIS COWS
ARE PREGNANT. HE SUSPECTED THAT ONE OF THE BULLS IS THE FATHER. WHICH BULL IS IT? HELP MANG
MARCELINO LOOK FOR THE FATHER BY SOLVING THE GIVEN PROBLEM.
DETERMINE THE POSSIBLE TRAITS OF THE CALVES IF :
1. A RED (CRCR) BULL IS MATED WITH A RED (CRCR) COW
2. A WHITE (CWCW)BULL IS MATED WITH A WHITE (CWCW)COW.
3. A RED(CRCR) BULL IS MATED WITH A WHITE
(CWCW) COW
4. A ROAN BULL(CRCW) IS MATED WITH A RED(CRCR)COW
5. A ROAN BULL(CRCW) IS MATED WITH A WHITE(CWCW)COW
