1. Incomplete dominance (snapdragons) |
· One gene, two alleles, three phenotypes |
· Genotypic ratios equal phenotypic ratios |
|
2. Co-dominance (sickle cell anemia) |
· Analysis of proteins by gel electrophoresis |
· Genotype determination from protein patterns |
· Homozygosity versus heterozygosity |
· Screens for heterozygosity |
· Paternity testing |
|
3. Multiple alleles (ABO blood types) |
· Two gene hypothesis versus one gene multiple alleles |
· Genotype determination |
|
4. Multiple alleles (hypothetical birds) |
· Multiple genes versus multiple alleles |
· Allelic series |
· Genotypes from phenotypic ratios |
|
5. Two traits, three genes, incomplete dominance
and epistasis |
· Breakdown of complex data |
· Phenotypic ratios to predict number of genes and relationships
between genes |
|
6. Epistasis (Bombay phenotype, humans) |
· Genotypes |
· Discrepancy in pedigrees |
· Epistatic gene |
· Southern analysis |
|
7. Homozygous lethality (Curled ear in cats) |
· Spontaneous dominant mutation |
· Homozygous dominant never found |
· 2:1 ratios |
· Achondroplasia (human example) |
