No, the traits Mendel studied (by chance) were all controlled by single genes.
There are some traits that depend on interactions between multiple genes, sometimes even on different chromosomes. The phenotypes they generate are much more difficult to match to genotypes and inheritance than Mendel's laws directly explain.
Traits that exhibit non-Mendelian inheritance patterns include traits controlled by multiple genes, traits influenced by environmental factors, traits with incomplete dominance, traits with codominance, and traits linked to the sex chromosomes.
Mendelian genetics follow predictable inheritance patterns based on dominant and recessive traits, while non-Mendelian genetics involve more complex inheritance patterns such as incomplete dominance, codominance, and polygenic traits. Mendelian traits are controlled by a single gene, while non-Mendelian traits may involve multiple genes or environmental factors.
Mendelian inheritance follows predictable patterns based on dominant and recessive genes, while non-Mendelian inheritance involves more complex genetic interactions such as incomplete dominance, codominance, and polygenic traits. Mendelian traits are typically controlled by a single gene, while non-Mendelian traits may involve multiple genes or environmental factors.
Non-Mendelian traits are characteristics that do not follow the typical patterns of inheritance described by Gregor Mendel. Examples include traits controlled by multiple genes (polygenic traits), traits influenced by environmental factors, and traits with incomplete dominance or codominance. These traits may exhibit more complex inheritance patterns than the simple dominant and recessive traits outlined by Mendel.
Mendelian inheritance patterns follow predictable rules of inheritance, such as dominant and recessive traits, as described by Gregor Mendel. Non-Mendelian inheritance patterns involve more complex genetic interactions, like incomplete dominance or codominance, that do not strictly follow Mendel's laws.

Mendelian inheritance patterns follow predictable rules of inheritance, such as dominant and recessive traits, as described by Gregor Mendel. Non-Mendelian inheritance patterns involve more complex genetic interactions, like incomplete dominance or codominance, that do not strictly follow Mendel's laws.
Gregor Mendel was a biologist who studied the inheritance of traits. His laws for this inheritance are combined in Mendelian inheritance, which states that some alleles are dominant and as such some traits are dominant.
Mendelian traits follow predictable patterns of inheritance based on the principles discovered by Gregor Mendel, such as dominant and recessive alleles. Non-Mendelian traits do not follow these patterns and may be influenced by multiple genes or environmental factors.
A non-Mendelian trait is a heritable feature that does not follow the patterns of inheritance described by Gregor Mendel in his laws of inheritance. These traits may be influenced by multiple genes, the environment, or exhibit more complex inheritance patterns than simple dominance or recessiveness. Examples include traits influenced by epigenetic modifications or mitochondrial DNA inheritance.
A trait with no clearly dominant allele.
All traits are inherited through patterns found by Mendel.
