Mendelian inheritance refers to an inheritance pattern that follows the laws of segregation and independent assortment in which a gene inherited from either parent segregates into gametes at an equal frequency.
2. happens when on allele is not completely dominant over
the other allele. Incomplete dominance often shows a
heterozygous phenotype that is intermediate between
the two homozygous phenotypes. Alleles of a gene are
partially expressed in an intermediate phenotype.
INCOMPLETE
DOMINANCE
The colour violet shows incomplete dominance.
Example:
If a plant has both a recessive and dominant gene,
it will be a mix of purple and white (violet).
3. In this principle, both alleles contribute to
the phenotype of an organism. Both
alleles of a gene are distinctly expressed.
Example:
Purple and white shows codominance.
If a plant has both a recessive and dominant gene, it
will be purple with white spots.
