Ch. 5.2 Understanding Inheritance
Focus Questions 
1. What determines the expression of 
traits? 
2. How can inheritance be modeled? 
3. How do some patterns of inheritance 
differ from Mendel’s model?
1. What determines the 
expression of traits? 
• Mendel concluded that 
two factors—one from 
each parent—control 
each trait (called 
chromosomes). 
• Chromosomes are 
made of coiled up DNA 
• Genes are segments of 
DNA for 1 trait.
1. What determines the expression of 
traits? 
• Remember that DNA stores genetic info. 
• Alleles – different forms of a gene 
– Each chromosome has 1 allele for every 
gene on it. 
– Ex: Color of pea plant is found in 1 gene, 
alleles are purple and white 
• The two chromosomes in an offspring cell may 
have the same or different alleles.
Ch 5.2 understanding inheritance
1. What determines the expression of 
traits? 
• Phenotype – how a 
trait physically 
appears 
• Genotype – the 2 
alleles (genes) that 
control the 
phenotype of a trait

same alleles 
(ex: RR, rr) 
• Heterozygous = 
different alleles 
(ex: Rr)

2. How can inheritance be modeled? 
A Punnett square is a model used to 
predict possible genotypes and 
phenotypes of offspring.
Draw the following Punnett Squares 
Yy x yy CC x cc

A pedigree shows phenotypes of 
genetically related family members.

3. How do some patterns of inheritance 
differ from Mendel’s model? 
Complex Patterns of Inheritance 
• Sometimes traits appear 
to be blends of alleles.
3. How do some patterns of inheritance 
differ from Mendel’s model? 
Complex 
patterns of 
inheritance 
Incomplete 
dominance 
Codominance 
Polygenic 
Inheritance 
Multiple 
alleles
3. How do some patterns of inheritance 
differ from Mendel’s model? 
• Incomplete Dominance: 
when the offspring’s 
phenotype is a blend of 
the parents’ phenotypes.
Ch 5.2 understanding inheritance
3. How do some patterns of inheritance 
differ from Mendel’s model? 
• Codominance occurs 
when both alleles can be 
observed in a phenotype.
Ch 5.2 understanding inheritance
3. How do some patterns of 
inheritance differ from 
Mendel’s model? 
Polygenic 
Inheritance: 
occurs when 
multiple genes 
determine the 
phenotype of a trait 
(ex: skin color, eye 
color).
3. How do some patterns of inheritance differ from 
Mendel’s model?
• Eye Color
3. How do some patterns of inheritance 
differ from Mendel’s model? 
Multiple alleles: Some traits are 
determined by more than one allele; 
ex: Human ABO blood types
Genes and the Environment 
• An organism’s environment can affect its 
phenotype. 
• Some examples of environmental factors 
that affect phenotype are soil type that a 
flower is growing in or time of year that a 
butterfly develops.

Editor's Notes

  • #6: 211_links widow gene
  • #21: http://www.goldiesroom.org/Shockwave_Pages/REG-18-tnm--punnettsquares.htm
  • #30: Hair texture
  • #33: cattle coat color (key below) CR = red CW = white CWCR or CRCW = roan (where both red and white are expressed
  • #36: Two layers to the eye, back and front. Back is blue (this is why baby’s have blue eyes) the front is controlled by pigment production (Brown/Green) if you have a G then your eyes will create a little pigment in the front layer and you will have green eyes. Example: 3 flasks Add blue to all flasks 2nd flask and a small amount of pigment (yellow) to make green 3rd add more pigment to make brown http://youtu.be/yVLhDUYH_Dc
  • #37: in human blood types there 3 possible alleles for the ABO blood typing system IA = A antigen IB = B antigen i = no antigen " both IA and IB are dominant over i but, " both IA and IB are codominant with each other (that means, they are both expressed equally)
