6. End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 6 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall This principle is known as independent assortment. Genes that segregate independently do not influence each other's inheritance. Independent Assortment

7. End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 7 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall A Summary of Mendel's Principles Genes are passed from parents to their offspring. If two or more forms (alleles) of the gene for a single trait exist, some are dominant and others may be recessive.

8. End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 8 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Genes are segregated from each other when gametes are formed. The alleles for different genes usually segregate independently of one another. A Summary of Mendel's Principles

10. End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 10 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles Incomplete Dominance When one allele is not completely dominant over another it is called incomplete dominance. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype is between the two homozygous phenotypes. AA aa Aa

13. End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 13 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles Multiple Alleles Genes that are controlled by more than two alleles are said to have multiple alleles. A rabbit's coat color is determined by a single gene that has at least four different alleles.

14. End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 14 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles Different combinations of alleles result in the colors shown here. Full color: CC, Cc ch, Cc h, or Cc Chinchilla: c ch c h, c ch c ch, or c ch cHimalayan: c h c, or c h c h AIbino: cc KEY C = full color; dominant to all other alleles c ch = chinchilla; partial defect in pigmentation; dominant to c h and c alleles c h = Himalayan; color in certain parts of the body; dominant to c allele c = albino; no color; recessive to all other alleles
