2. Non-Mendelian inheritance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Mendelian_inheritance

   Extranuclear inheritance (also known as cytoplasmic inheritance) is a form of non-Mendelian inheritance also first discovered by Carl Correns in 1908. [9] While working with Mirabilis jalapa, Correns observed that leaf colour was dependent only on the genotype of the maternal parent.

3. Paternal mtDNA transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternal_mtDNA_transmission

   In genetics, paternal mtDNA transmission and paternal mtDNA inheritance refer to the incidence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) being passed from a father to his offspring. . Paternal mtDNA inheritance is observed in a small proportion of species; in general, mtDNA is passed unchanged from a mother to her offspring, [1] making it an example of non-Mendelian inh

4. Uniparental inheritance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniparental_inheritance

   Although uniparental inheritance is the most common form of inheritance in organelles, there is increased evidence of diversity. Some studies found doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) and biparental transmission to exist in cells. Evidence suggests that even when there is biparental inheritance, crossing-over doesn't always occur.

5. Polygene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygene

   A polygene is a member of a group of non-epistatic genes that interact additively to influence a phenotypic trait, thus contributing to multiple-gene inheritance (polygenic inheritance, multigenic inheritance, quantitative inheritance [1]), a type of non-Mendelian inheritance, as opposed to single-gene inheritance, which is the core notion of Mendelian inheritance.

6. Human mitochondrial genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mitochondrial_genetics

   Chromosomal inheritance follows normal Mendelian laws, despite the fact that the phenotype of the disease may be masked. Because of the complex ways in which mitochondrial and nuclear DNA "communicate" and interact, even seemingly simple inheritance is hard to diagnose.

7. Biparental inheritance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biparental_inheritance

   Biparental inheritance is a type of biological inheritance where the progeny inherits a maternal and a paternal allele for one gene. It is one of the criteria for Mendelian inheritance . Sexual reproduction , where offspring result from the fusion of gametes from two parents, is the most common form of biparental inheritance.

9. Dihybrid cross - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihybrid_cross

   The idea of a dihybrid cross came from Gregor Mendel when he observed pea plants that were either yellow or green and either round or wrinkled. Crossing of two heterozygous individuals will result in predictable ratios for both genotype and phenotype in the offspring. The expected phenotypic ratio of crossing heterozygous parents would be 9:3:3 ...
