  2. Non-Mendelian inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Mendelian_inheritance

    In cases of intermediate inheritance due to incomplete dominance, the principle of dominance discovered by Mendel does not apply.Nevertheless, the principle of uniformity works, as all offspring in the F 1-generation have the same genotype and same phenotype.

  3. Dominance (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_(genetics)

    Autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance, the two most common Mendelian inheritance patterns. An autosome is any chromosome other than a sex chromosome.. In genetics, dominance is the phenomenon of one variant of a gene on a chromosome masking or overriding the effect of a different variant of the same gene on the other copy of the chromosome.

  4. Disassortative mating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disassortative_mating

    Evidence from research regarding coloration in Heliconius butterflies suggests that disassortative mating is more likely to emerge when phenotypic variation is based on self-referencing (mate preference depends on phenotype of the choosing individual, therefore dominance in relationships influence the evolution of disassortative mating).

  6. Genetic variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_variance

    Ronald Fisher in 1913. Genetic variance is a concept outlined by the English biologist and statistician Ronald Fisher in his fundamental theorem of natural selection.In his 1930 book The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection, Fisher postulates that the rate of change of biological fitness can be calculated by the genetic variance of the fitness itself. [1]

  7. Simple Mendelian genetics in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mendelian_genetics...

    Mendelian traits behave according to the model of monogenic or simple gene inheritance in which one gene corresponds to one trait. Discrete traits (as opposed to continuously varying traits such as height) with simple Mendelian inheritance patterns are relatively rare in nature, and many of the clearest examples in humans cause disorders.

  8. Test cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_cross

    Under the law of dominance in genetics, an individual expressing a dominant phenotype could contain either two copies of the dominant allele (homozygous dominant) or one copy of each dominant and recessive allele (heterozygous dominant). [1] By performing a test cross, one can determine whether the individual is heterozygous or homozygous ...

  9. Sickle cell trait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickle_cell_trait

    This is because the sickling happens only at low oxygen concentrations. With regards to the actual concentration of hemoglobin in the circulating cells, the alleles demonstrate co-dominance as both 'normal' and mutant forms co-exist in the bloodstream. Thus it is an ambiguous condition showing both incomplete dominance and co-dominance.
