NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE

Question 1

Incomplete Dominance

Answer 1

Both alleles of the heterozygous genotype are transcribed and translated, phenotypically resulting in a combination of the two traits

Question 2

Codominance

Answer 2

Both dominant and recessive alleles are expressed separately, so you can phenotypically see each one. Both are equally expressed in different cells that are all heterozygous

Question 3

Multiple Allele Inheritance

Answer 3

When a trait is made up of three or more distinct alleles

Question 4

Non-Autosomal Inheritance

Answer 4

Sex-linked traits that are more likely in males or females. X-linked traits are more likely to be expressed in males because they only have one X chromosome, and everything on X will be expressed

Question 5

Epistatic Inheritance

Answer 5

Having one certain gene that overpowers them all and that one will be expressed

Question 6

Polygenic Inheritance

Answer 6

One trait is governed by multiple alleles, proteins produced by several genes make up this one trait
