1.Explain the different patterns of Non-Mendelian


inheritance. S9LT-ld-29
Objectives:
At the end of the discussion, you should be able to:

1. explain and describe the characteristics of the different


patterns of non-mendelian inheritance: codominance
2. solve genetic problems related to codominance
3. illustrate by means of Punnett square involving codominance
pattern of inheritance;
4. list the genotypes of a given genetic problem.
Codominance
Codominance occurs when two versions,
or “alleles,” of the same gene are present
in a
living thing, and both are expressed.
Instead of one trait being dominant over
the other, both traits appear.

Codominance is easy to spot in


plants and animals that have more
than one pigment color. Spotted
cows and flowers with petals of two
different colors are examples of
codominance.
Examples of Codominance
Example 1
When a chicken with white feathers (W) breeds with a chicken with black
feathers (B), the result is an offspring chicken that grows up to have both black
and white feathers (BW) or it is called an “erminette chicken”.
Examples of Codominance
Example 2

Roan fur in cattle as shown in Figure


2.
Cattle can be red (RR = all red hairs),
white (WW = all white hairs), or roan
(RW = red & white hairs together).
Example 3
Blood Type
An example of codominance that
occurs in humans is that of blood
type.
There are three different versions
of the gene for proteins that appear
on the outside of our blood cells
and help our body to identify the
cells as their own. These alleles are
A, B, and O.
The “O” allele actually does not
code for any protein at all, so
people with the “O” trait lack both A
and B proteins.
