Ck 12: Life Science: Non Mendelian Inheritance
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In all of Mendel's experiments, he worked with traits where a single gene controlled the trait. Each also had one allele that was always dominant over the recessive...
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Life Science: 3.14 Non Mendelian Inheritance
Learn about some examples of inheritance that do not follow Mendelian inheritance rules.
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Life Science: Polygenic Traits
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Another exception to Mendel's rules is polygenic inheritance, which occurs when a trait is controlled by more than one gene. This means that each dominant allele...
