- Non-Mendelian inheritance refers to patterns of inheritance that do not follow Mendel's laws, including incomplete dominance, codominance, sex-linked traits, and multiple alleles.
- In incomplete dominance, neither allele for a trait is dominant. In codominance, both alleles are expressed simultaneously in heterozygotes. Sex-linked traits are determined by genes on the X chromosome.
- The human ABO blood group is an example of multiple alleles, with three alleles (IA, IB, i) determining the four blood types (A, B, AB, and O). IA and IB are codominant to each other and dominant over the recessive i allele.

NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE
Is a general term that refers to
any pattern of inheritance in which traits DO NOT segregate in accordance with Mendel’s Law. INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE Is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not dominant over the other allele. CODOMINANCE Both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism by showing up simultaneously (at the same time) in heterozygous individuals. SEX CHROMOSOMES MALES: -have non-identical sex chromosomes (XY). FEMALES: -have identical sex chromosomes. SEX-LINKED TRAITS This is also referred to as x- linked traits. These are determined by genes that are determined on the X chromosomes. This is determined also in the sex chromosomes of individual. SEX-LINKED TRAITS SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS The traits produced here is not sex-linked but is carried by the body chromosomes or AUTOSOMES.
Example of this is Baldness
Multiple Alleles Another blood group system in humans, the ABO system, is an example of a character governed by multiple alleles. Three alleles are responsible for this blood system: IA ,IB, and i. The ABO blood type is determined by the presence or absence of two antigens, A and B. Allele i does not code for an antigen. There are four possible blood types. BLOOD TYPES PHENOTYPE GENOTYPE A IAIA , IAi B IBIB , IBi AB IAIB O ii REMEMBER: The IA and IB alleles are dominant over the i allele, which is always recessive. However, when the IA and IB alleles are inherited together, both alleles are expressed equally. This also makes IA and IB codominants of each other. In humans, there are four blood types (phenotypes): A, B, AB, O. Blood type is controlled by three alleles: A, B, O. O is recessive, two O alleles must be present for a person to have type O blood. A and B are codominant. If a person receives an A allele and a B allele, their blood type is type AB.
