Extensions of Mendelian Analysis Modifications of Mendelian Ratios Single Gene modifications Two gene pair modifications: modified 9:3:3:1 ratios Modification of Expression
Single Gene modifications Incomplete dominance (partial dominance) Multiple alleles Lethal alleles
Incomplete dominance (partial dominance) Expression of a heterozygous phenotype that is distinct from and usually intermediate to either homozygous phenotype
Incomplete dominance (partial dominance) Tay Sachs and Sickle Cell Anemia Heterozygous are intermediate at the biochemical level.
Multiple Alleles &Co-Dominance
Bombay phenotype H allele affected Recessive epistasis Show O phenotype Genotype variable
Lethal alleles Yellow dominant to Agouti coat color No purebred yellow Deletion mutation Recessive for lethality
