Non-Mendelian Genetics

These go against the laws of Mendel

Where neither allele is dominant and heterozygous which led to individuals having an intermediate phenotype.

When the heterozygote expresses both alleles equally

Wherein traits are controlled by the combined interaction of many gene loci

When a single gene affects the expressions of more than one phenotypic character

Homozygotes have two copies of abnormal genes, leading to formation of crescent shaped or sickle shaped hemoglobin

One of the most widely examples in pleiotropy in humans

When one gene affects or masks another gene

Blonde, brown and black hair in humans are determined by a pigment called ________.

This pigment makes red hair

This gene allows the conversion of pheomelanin to eumelanin, making red heads rare

The lack of pigment that results in pale white individuals

An important protein that is necessary for the production of the pigment melanin
