Lesson: Non-Mendelian Genetics
Do all genetic crosses follow Mendel's Laws?
No. This lesson looks at some examples of how things are often a bit more complicated. Students will learn about intermediate phenotypes of incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, codominance, polygenic traits and other factors that do not follow the basic patterns of inheritance.

Objectives and Vocabulary: #content
BIO.5 The student will investigate and understand common mechanisms of inheritance and protein synthesis. Key concepts include
d) prediction of inheritance of traits based on the Mendelian laws of heredity;
f) genetic variation;
Intermediate Phenotype
Incomplete dominance
Multiple Allele (codominant)
Polygenic inheritance
Sex-linked inheritance
Warm Ups, etc:
Rabbits - a really good review warm-up. If you can do this one, you understand this unit.
