Non-Mendelian Genetics Notes

Explore Non-Mendelian Genetics: Easy Examples for Kids

Non-Mendelian Genetics encompasses complex inheritance patterns that deviate from Mendel's classical laws, including codominance, incomplete dominance, and multiple alleles.

Key aspects:

  • Explores various inheritance patterns beyond simple dominant-recessive relationships
  • Includes blood type inheritance as a prime example of both multiple alleles and codominance
  • Covers sex-linked traits and polygenic inheritance
  • Demonstrates how traits can be influenced by multiple genetic factors
  • Explains pedigree analysis for tracking inheritance patterns across generations

Page 2: Advanced Inheritance Patterns and Sex-Linked Traits

This page delves deeper into multiple alleles and introduces polygenic inheritance and sex-linked traits.

Example: Blood typing demonstrates both codominance and multiple alleles, with IA and IB being codominant, and i being recessive.

Definition: Polygenic inheritance occurs when traits are controlled by multiple genes, each contributing a small effect to the overall phenotype.

Example: Height, eye color, and skin color are examples of polygenic traits in humans.

Highlight: Sex-linked traits are controlled by genes located on sex chromosomes, primarily the X chromosome, affecting males and females differently.

Vocabulary: A carrier is an individual who carries a recessive allele but doesn't show the trait, common in X-linked inheritance.

Page 3: Pedigree Analysis

This page focuses on the practical application of genetic inheritance through pedigree analysis.

Definition: A pedigree is a chart that shows the inheritance of traits through multiple generations in a family tree format.

Highlight: Pedigrees are essential tools for tracking inheritance patterns and predicting genetic outcomes in families.

Example: Pedigrees can help visualize the inheritance of traits like hemophilia and color blindness across generations.

I love this app so much [...] I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a C to an A with it :D

Stefan S, iOS User

The application is very simple and well designed. So far I have found what I was looking for :D

SuSSan, iOS User

Love this App ❤️, I use it basically all the time whenever I'm studying

Page 1: Introduction to Non-Mendelian Inheritance Patterns

This page introduces fundamental concepts of non mendelian genetics, focusing on key inheritance patterns that differ from classical Mendelian genetics.

Definition: Codominance occurs when both alleles are fully expressed in the heterozygous condition, resulting in both traits being visible in the phenotype.

Example: In chickens, when black FBFB and white FWFW feather colors are inherited together, they produce a checkered pattern FBFWFBFW where both colors are distinctly visible.

Definition: Incomplete dominance is a condition where one allele is not completely dominant over another, resulting in a blended intermediate phenotype.

Highlight: Multiple alleles refer to genes that have more than two possible allelic forms, as seen in blood types A,B,AB,OA, B, AB, O.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Android user

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
