Concept explainers
Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple
Extensions of Mendelian genetics for a single gene:
Which genetic relationships listed h the first column of the two tables above are demonstrated by the inheritance pattern of the ABO blood group alleles? For each genetic relationship, explain why this inheritance pattern is or is not an example.

- Describe how a biparental pattern of extranuclear inheritance couldresemble a Mendelian pattern of inheritance for a particular gene.How would they differ?arrow_forwardWhy is skin color, eye color, and height of humans under Non-Mendelian pattern of inheritance?arrow_forwardWhat are three similarities and three differences between Mendelian and Polygenic traits?arrow_forward
- What does the term allele mean?arrow_forwardA woman with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes gives birth to fraternal twins; the father has dark brown skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. One twin has blond hair, brown eyes, and light skin, and the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. What Mendelian law does this real-life case illustrate and explain what this means in terms of the inherited alleles for these genes?arrow_forwardWhat is Homozygous and heterozygous in Mendelian Genetics?arrow_forward
