EXCEPTIONS TO MENDEL’S PRINCIPLES
Mendel’s principles offer a set of rules with which to predict various patterns of inheritance.
There are exceptions to every rule, and exceptions to the exceptions.
What happens if one allele is not completely dominant over another? What if a gene has several alleles?
![Page 4: EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULES. REVIEW OF MENDELS PRINCIPLES Genes are passed parents offspring; get one allele from each parent](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070611/5a4d1bbe7f8b9ab0599d2041/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What are some exceptions to Mendel’s principles?
Some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive.
Many genes exist in several different forms, and are therefore said to have multiple alleles.
Many traits are produced by the interaction of several genes.
![Page 5: EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULES. REVIEW OF MENDELS PRINCIPLES Genes are passed parents offspring; get one allele from each parent](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070611/5a4d1bbe7f8b9ab0599d2041/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1.INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
Cases in which one allele is not completely dominant over another are called incomplete dominance.
In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype lies somewhere between the two homozygous phenotypes.
Third phenotype that is a blending of the parental traits. (2 alleles produce 3 phenotypes.)
Example: straight hair, wavy, curly

EXAMPLEA cross between two four o’clock
plants shows a common exception to Mendel’s principles.
The F1 generation produced by a cross between red-flowered (RR) and white-flowered (WW) plants consists of pink-colored flowers (RW), as shown.

Examples:Trait: Flower Color
Expressions: Red x
White Pink RR= Red; RW= pink;
WW= white

Incomplete Dominance
![Page 9: EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULES. REVIEW OF MENDELS PRINCIPLES Genes are passed parents offspring; get one allele from each parent](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070611/5a4d1bbe7f8b9ab0599d2041/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CODOMINANCE
Cases in which the phenotypes produced by both alleles are clearly expressed are called codominance.
For example, in certain varieties of chicken, the allele for black feathers is codominant with the allele for white feathers.
Heterozygous chickens have a color described as “erminette,” speckled with black and white feathers.

Both alleles contribute to the phenotype. Example: In come chickens
Black Chicken x White Speckled Chicken

3. PLEIOTROPY• Occurs when a single gene influences
multiple phenotypic traits. • Consequently, a new mutation in the gene
will have an effect on all traits simultaneously. This can become a problem when selection on one trait favors one specific mutant, while the selection on the other trait favors another mutant.
• The ability of a single gene to have multiple effects.

4. EPISTASISo The interaction between two or more genes
to control a single phenotype. o Epistasis occurs when more than one gene
is needed to control one trait. o Phenomenon in which one gene alters the
expression of another that is independently inherited.

5. POLYGENIC TRAITS• Traits that are determined by multiple
genes for a characteristic. • Traits controlled by two or more genes are said
to be polygenic traits. • Polygenic means “many genes.”• Often show a wide range of phenotypes. The
variety of skin color in humans comes about partly because more than four different genes probably control this trait.

6. MULTIPLE ALLELES• A single gene can have many
possible alleles.• A gene with more than two
alleles is said to have multiple alleles.
• Many genes have multiple alleles, including the human genes for blood type. This chart shows the percentage of the U.S. population that shares each blood group.
