Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple Mendelian genetics (pp. 278-283)

Extensions of Mendelian genetics for a single gene:

Chapter 14, Problem 14.3CR, Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple Mendelian genetics (pp.

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.

Features of a Concept Features of a Concept Characteristics are discrete; that is, they are unitary. Genetic features have alternative forms, and each feature is inherited from one of the two parents. These are called alleles. One allele is dominant over the other allele. The dominant allele is reflected in the phenotype. Random segregation creates the gametes. The heterozygotic individuals produce gametes with an equal frequency of both alleles. Genes are unlinked; that is, different traits arise from the independent assortment.
