11. Mendel’s Explanation  Characters controlled by two “factors”  These segregate during reproduction  One factor is dominant, the other is recessive Y = factor for yellow seed color y = factor for green seed color

30. Incomplete Dominance Four-o’clocks

31. An intermediate phenotype is shown

32. Incomplete Dominance  Three Shades:  Dark = DD  Medium = DL  Light =LL

33. Co-dominance - Both alleles can be expressed  For example, red cows crossed with white will generate roan cows. Roan refers to cows that have red coats with white blotches.  One allele of the gene codes for an enzyme that functions in the production of the red color. The other allele codes for the gene to make white color. If both alleles are present, both are expressed, resulting in a cow that has some red and some white.

34. Co-dominance AAndalusian Fowl also show this pattern of inheritance. IIf you cross a black (BB) rooster WWith a white (WW) chicken YYou get black+white speckled (BW) offspring

35. Incomplete Dominance vs. Co-Dominance  Red and White Camellia  Red and White Snapdragons

36. X-Linked Traits  A carrier female  A normal male

37. X-Linked Traits  Some genes are located on the X chromosome. Females receive two alleles for these genes, but males only receive one.  In humans, hemophilia and color blindness are sex-linked traits.  When doing a Punnet square, use large X's and Y's to denote male and female, use superscript letters to designate the alleles.  If the parent is a male, the genotype is automatically known. A colorblind male has to be b, since he only has one allele and colorblindness is recessive. A normal male must then be B  Females can be heterozygous for the colorblindness trait - they are called carriers. A female can be BB - normal, Bb - carrier, or bb - colorblind

42. Gene: Locus & Allele  Locus- place on a chromosome, responsible for a character, e.g. seed color  Allele- version of a locus, responsible for a trait, e.g. yellow or green

43. Pleiotropy Locus affects more than one character  b ST color and lethality  Antenna bifurcata (ab) antenna shape & male sterility

44. Epistasis

45.  Interaction of alleles at two loci: Locus 1 R = Red pigment r = yellow pigment Locus 2 Y = no chlorophyll y = chlorophyll Four Phenotypes R_Y_ = Red R_yy = Brown rrY_ = Yellow rryy = Green
