ELICIT
Before you start with the module, be sure to answer the Pre
assessment questions on page 2 in your Learner’s Materials.
Next, you put the genotype of one parent across the top and that of the
other parent down the left side. For example, if parent pea plant
genotypes were YY and GG respectively, the setup would be:
Note that only one letter goes in each box for the parents. It does not matter which parent is on the
side or the top of the Punnett square.
Next, all you have to do is fill in the boxes by copying the row and column-head letters across or down
into the empty squares. This gives us the predicted frequency of all of the potential genotypes among
the offspring each time reproduction occurs.
In this example, 100% of the offspring will likely be heterozygous (YG). Since the Y
(yellow) allele is dominant over the G (green) allele for pea plants, 100% of the YG
offspring will have a yellow phenotype, as Mendel observed in his breeding experiments.

MENDELIAN INHERITANCE VERSUS NON- MENDELIAN INHERITANCE
MENDELIAN INHERITANCE NON- MENDELIAN INHERITANCE
Mendelian inheritance is the way in which Non- Mendelian inheritance is the
genes and their corresponding traits are patterns of inheritance which do not
passed from parents to their offspring by follow the Mendelian inheritance
means of dominant and recessive alleles
The two (2) alleles of a gene are either The two alleles are neither dominant
dominant or recessive nor recessive
Phenotypic proportions can be pre- Phenotypic proportions differ from

1. Incomplete Dominance
In incomplete dominance, a heterozygote shows a phenotype
that is intermediate between the two homozygous
phenotypes. Neither allele is dominant over the other. An
example of incomplete dominance is flower color in four
o’clock plant, like those shown in Figure 1. When a pure red-
flowered four o’clock plant is crossed with a pure white
flowered four o’clock plant, the offspring will produce neither
red nor white flowers. Instead, all flowers will be pink.

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS
Key Concepts
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate
inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not
completely dominant over the other allele. This results in a
third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a
combination of the dominant and recessive phenotypes
2. In some cats the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance.
Cats with long tails and cats with no tails are homozygous for their
respective alleles. Cats with one long tail allele and one no tail allele
have short tails. For each of the following construct a punnett square
and give phenotypic and genotype ratios of the offspring.
a) a long tail cat and a cat with no tail
b) a long tail cat and a short tail cat
c) a short tail cat and a cat with no tail
d) two short tail cats.
Key Concepts
In codominance, both alleles are expressed
equally in the phenotype of the
heterozygote. For example, red cows crossed
with white cows will have
offspring that are roan cows. Roan refers to
cows with red hair and white blotches.

PROBLEM ON CODOMINANCE
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.
A man with Type O blood marries a woman with Type B blood. What are
the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? Also give the
probability of each phenotype.
Genotypes: BO, OO
Phenotypes: Type B, Type O
Probabilities: 50% Type B, 50% Type O
A man with Type B blood marries a woman with Type A blood. They
have a child with Type O blood. What are the parents' genotypes?
The parents are both heterozygous (AO, BO), otherwise they would not
be able to produce a child with Type O blood.
SEX DETERMINATION
EXPLORE
Activity Number 1
Boy or Girl
Objective:
Discuss how sex in humans is determined
Materials:
Activity sheets
Pen
paper
Procedure:
1. Draw a Punnett square which shows the inheritance of the sex chromosomes.
Represent the female sex chromosomes with XX and the male sex chromosomes with
XY.
Key Concepts
Males have 44 body chromosomes and two sex chromosomes X
and Y. The males determine the sex of their children. Females have
44 body chromosomes and two sex chromosomes, both X. The total
number in each cell of an individual is 46. These chromosomes
contain the genes, which are the factors of heredity.
Sex-influenced traits are also autosomal, meaning that their genes are not
carried on
the sex chromosomes. Again, what makes these traits unusual is the way they
are expressed phenotypically. In this case, the difference is in the ways the
two genders express the genes. One classic example of a sex-influenced trait is
pattern baldness in humans, though the condition is not restricted to males.
This gene has two alleles, “bald” and “non-bald”. The behaviors of the
products of these genes are highly influenced by the hormones in the
individual, particularly by the hormone testosterone. All humans have
testosterone, but males have much higher levels of this hormone than
females do. The result is that, in males, the baldness allele behaves like a
dominant allele, while in females it behaves like a recessive allele.

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS
Key Concepts
Sex-limited traits are those that are
expressed exclusively in one sex.
Sex-influenced traits are expressed in
both sexes but more frequently in
one than in the other sex.

Glossary
Allele – a different form of a gene that controls a certain trait.
Codominance – two dominant alleles of a contrasting pair fully expressed at the same
time in the heterozygous individual.
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.
Multiple Alleles – when more than two alleles control the inheritance of a character.
Sex-influenced traits – are expressed in both sexes but more frequently in one sex
than in the other.
Sex-limited traits that are expressed exclusively in one sex of the species.
Sex-linked traits – traits that are controlled by genes located on the same sex
chromosome.
DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid
Punnett square – the method by which one can determine the possible
genotypes and
phenotypes when two parents are crossed
Antigen - A substance that when introduced into the body stimulates the
production of an
antibody
Gamete - are reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a
new cell called a zygote.
