Codominance
A 3:1 phenotypic ratio (Mendelian inheritance).
males and females have different sex chromosomes
scientific law
The answer is -Scientific law-
Gregor Mendel
The inheritance pattern of the BRCA1 gene is dominant.
incomplete dominance
codominace
The pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism is codominance. For example white and red hair color in cattle. Black and white feather color in certain chickens.
Yes, achondroplasia is an example of an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. This means that only one copy of the mutated gene needs to be inherited to display the condition.
The type of inheritance that involves one dominant allele and one recessive allele is called simple Mendelian inheritance or complete dominance. In this pattern, the phenotype of the organism will display the trait associated with the dominant allele, while the recessive allele's effects are masked when both alleles are present. An example of this is the inheritance of flower color in pea plants, where purple (dominant) flowers mask the expression of white (recessive) flowers.
A dominant pedigree refers to a pattern of inheritance in which a dominant allele on a gene is expressed in the phenotype of an individual, masking the effects of a recessive allele. This results in the dominant trait being exhibited in individuals who inherit at least one copy of the dominant allele.
Hirschsprung's disease is typically non-Mendelian in inheritance, meaning it does not follow a simple dominant or recessive pattern. It is commonly associated with complex inheritance involving multiple genetic and environmental factors.
In Huntington's disease, which follows a dominant inheritance pattern, the mother's genotype could either be homozygous dominant (DD) or heterozygous (Dd). If she has the disease, she must have at least one dominant allele, so her genotype cannot be homozygous recessive (dd). Therefore, her possible genotypes are DD or Dd, which both indicate she has the potential to pass the disease on to her offspring.
Incomplete dominance
Incomplete dominance is considered an exception to Mendel's principles of inheritance because it results in a blending of traits, rather than the dominant trait completely masking the recessive trait as seen in Mendelian genetics. This leads to a unique inheritance pattern where neither allele is fully dominant, breaking the traditional rules of dominant and recessive traits established by Mendel.
The pattern of heredity shown in the transparency is most likely a familial inheritance pattern, where certain traits or genetic conditions are passed down through generations within a family. Examples of familial inheritance patterns include autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance, X-linked inheritance, or mitochondrial inheritance. These patterns help geneticists and researchers understand how genetic traits are transmitted from parents to offspring.
