Extensions of Mendelian Analysis • Interactions between alleles of one gene. • Multiple alleles, incomplete dominance, codominance • Interactions between alleles of two genes. • New phenotypes, epistasis • Relationship between genotype & phenotype • lethals, variable penetrance, conditional alleles
Interactions between alleles of one gene Dominance is a relationship between two alleles of the same gene. Several relationships are possible: complete dominance partial dominance incomplete dominance codominance overdominance Each relationship has particular characteristics
Interactions between alleles of one gene • Dominance is a relationship between two alleles of the same gene. • Several relationships are possible: • complete dominance • partial dominance/ incomplete dominance • codominance • overdominance • Each relationship has particular characteristics
Dominance is relative: an allele can be dominant to one allele and recessive to a third allele w/wa= red eye wa is recessive) w/ w1= red eye(w1 is recessive) wa/w1=light orange(wa is partially dominant to w1) The white gene has many different alleles, each producing a different amount of pigment: eosin, apricot, buff, etc
• Dominance is relative: an allele can be dominant to one allele and recessive to a third allele. w+ / wa = red eye (wa is recessive) w+ / w1 = red eye (w1 is recessive) wa / w1 = light orange (wa is partially dominant to w1 ). The white gene has many different alleles, each producing a different amount of pigment: eosin, apricot, buff, etc

• Incomplete dominance: heterozygotes are intermediate. • Heterozygous snapdragons (R/r) have an intermediate color, pink. • Crossing two pink snapdragons gives a 1 R/R: 2R/r: 1r/r progeny ratio. 4.1
