If you are talking about two different traits (lets say skin color, caucasian and African American) combining to make a "middle" color (golden tan), it would have to do with incomplete dominance. The traits appearances are not dominant over each other so neither are fully expressed. Some examples of incomplete dominance are: skin color, hair body (curly, wavy, straight), and height in humans. Another type of blending of traits has to do with co-dominance. Co-dominance is the expression of both dominant traits creating a splochy appearance of both traits. Do not confuse this with freckles which is a different trait on its own.

What patterns of inheritance do not follow mendel' s laws?

Non-Mendelian inheritance patterns include incomplete dominance, where the heterozygous genotype produces a blended phenotype; codominance, where both alleles are fully expressed; and sex-linked inheritance, where a gene is located on a sex chromosome and follows different inheritance patterns depending on the sex of the individual. These patterns deviate from Mendel's laws of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment.

Why do most mutations in eukaryotes exhibit a recessive inheritance pattern?

Most mutations in eukaryotes exhibit a recessive inheritance pattern because they typically involve changes in a single gene, and the presence of a normal copy of the gene can often mask the effects of the mutated gene. This means that individuals with one normal and one mutated copy of the gene will not show the effects of the mutation, leading to a recessive inheritance pattern.


What is an example of dominant inheritance?

Dominant Inheritance is when one parent has a dominant gene and the other has a recessive gene. The dominant gene overpowers the recessive gene, and only the dominant gene is phenotypically expressed.Source: http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/recessive.phpSome examples are variegate porphyria, Huntington's disease and myotonic dystrophy.source: http://genome.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_WTD020849.html


What does genomic imprinting refer to and how does it impact gene expression and inheritance patterns?

Genomic imprinting is a phenomenon where certain genes are expressed differently depending on whether they are inherited from the mother or the father. This can impact gene expression and inheritance patterns by causing specific genes to be turned on or off based on their parental origin, leading to unique patterns of inheritance and gene expression in offspring.


What is id polygenic inheritance?

Polygenic inheritance is when a trait is influenced by the combined effects of multiple genes, rather than being determined by a single gene. Each gene may have a small additive effect on the phenotype, resulting in a continuous range of phenotypic variations. This type of inheritance is often seen in traits like height, skin color, and intelligence.
