Non-Mendelian Genetics
Modifications to the expected Mendelian ratios…
For example – in snapdragons, cross a red flowered plant with a white flowered plant…
Mendel predicted you would end up with…
But he was wrong…You get all *pink* flowers!
Why?
R = red and r = white
Red x white Pink x Pink
Incomplete Dominance
Incomplete DominanceIntermediate phenotype in
heterozygotes…
It is a “blend” between the dominant and recessive forms of the gene
Sample ProblemIn horses, the dominant D allele allows
coat color to fully develop. The d allele dilutes, or weakens, coat color. When a chestnut (brown) horse is crossed with a cremello (nearly white) horse, their offspring are palominos (gold with white manes and tails)
Sample Problem ContinuedWhat is the genotype of…• A chestnut horse? ______________• A cremello horse? ______________• A palomino horse? ______________What would be the expected
phenotypic ratios of a cross between two palomino horses?
Another example from your dragons…
The case of the missing purebred…
Manx cats are born tailless. But if you cross two Manx cats you will never get 100% Manx kittens. Never ever ever.
Lethal Alleles
Lethal AllelesThe homozygous condition is lethal…
Sample ProblemAchondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, is
caused by the dominant allele A. Embryos with the genotype AA do not survive. Suppose that two people with achondroplasia get married and have children.
What phenotypic ratio would you observe in the couple’s children?
The case of the orange cows…
In cattle, red hair is dominant to white hair…but when you cross a red bull with a white cow, you get…

CodominanceDefinition:
Codominance• BOTH alleles are expressed at the same
time • Heterozygous = both phenotypes
expressed equally
R = red and R’ = white
Red x white Roan x Roan
Practice ProblemAndalusian chickens– Black feathers is codominant with white
feathers– Heterozygous = __________________________
It’s a guy thing, you wouldn’t understand…
Sex-linkedDefinition:
Sex-linkedPattern of inheritance for genes
located on X (sex) chromosome. Rarely on Y…
