Editor's Notes

  • #9 Figure: 11-10 Title: Incomplete dominance. Caption: The inheritance of flower color in snapdragons is an example of incomplete dominance. (In such cases, we use capital letters for both alleles, here R and R '.) Heterozygtes ( RR ') have pink flowers, whereas the homozygotes are red ( RR ) or white ( R ' R ').
  • #22 Figure: 11-15a Title: Sickle-cell anemia. Caption: (a) Normal red blood cells are disc-shaped with indented centers. (b) The red blood cells of a person with sickle-cell anemia become sickled.
