Non Mendelian Traits

Non Mendelian Traits: is a term used to describe any pattern of inheritance (passing on genes) in which traits do not follow Mendel's Laws

1. Incomplete Dominance ~ is about 4.5 minutes long.

2. Co - Dominance ~ about 3.5 minutes long

3.  Multiple Alleles - I showed parts in class
         
4.  Polygenetic Traits -                Video #2:

5. Sex Linked
           Video Link 1 ~ little less than 5 minutes. Describes what sex - linked traits are and how we
                                    find them.

            Video Link 2 ~ little less than 3 minutes. Shows an example of a sex- linked punnett square.
