7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
KEY CONCEPT
Phenotype is affected by many different factors.
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Phenotype can depend on interactions of alleles.
• Autosomal dominance
– Only need to inherit one copy of the disorder to be
affected
– Disease is dominant (DD or Dd)
– Homozygous dominant: early death, usually don’t survive to
reproduce
– Heterozygous: live into adulthood
– Healthy is recessive (dd)
– Ex: Familial hypercholesterolemia (also called FH) or
Huntington’s disease
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Usually 50/50 chance of inheriting autosomal dominance
due to only 1 parent being affected
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Autosomal Dominance Inheritance
• Ex:
• Paul has familial hypercholesterolemia and Stacy is healthy.
The two have 3 children, 2 boys, and a girl. After testing, the
middle child is the only healthy child.

F = FH
f = healthy

7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Another example…
• Huntington’s disease is a dominant disorder found on
chromosome 4. Betty and Marcus met at a support clinic they
have been attending to help them cope with the knowledge of
their illness with Huntington’s disease. They would like to
know the risk of having a healthy child, now that Betty is
pregnant.

7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Incomplete Dominance• neither allele is completely dominant nor
completely recessive.
– Heterozygous phenotype is intermediate
between the two homozygous phenotypes
• Heterozygous is like a “blend”
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Example: Cross a homozygous red carnation
flower (RR) with a homozygous white flower
(WW).
• List the
genotypes.
4RW
• List the
phenotypes.
4 Pink
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Example: Cross one heterozygous pink (RW) 4
o’clock flower with a White flower (WW).
• List the
genotypes.
2RW, 2WW
• List the
phenotypes.
2 Pink, 2White
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Codominance• Defined: When both alleles
are dominant and equally
expressed
• The colors do NOT blend
together, but are equally seen
• Ex: Cattle Coat
Red cow x White cow =
Roan Cow
• Ex: Human Blood types
Type A x Type B = Type AB
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
• Blood types are another example of codominance.
– The ABO blood types result from codominant alleles
– This blood group consists of 3 different alleles
• Dominant A allele
• Dominant B allele
• Recessive O allele
• A and B are equally
dominant
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Ex: Cross Jason who is homozygous for
type A blood with Maria who is homozygous
for type B blood.
• List the genotypes.
4AB
• List the phenotypes.
4 type AB blood
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Ex: Cross Mike who is heterozygous for type A
blood with Lisa who is heterozygous for type B
blood.
• List the genotypes.
1AB, 1Ao, 1Bo, 1oo
• List the phenotypes.
1 type AB blood
1 type A blood
1 type B blood
1 type o blood
• Probability of Heterozygous individual?
75%
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Many genes may interact to produce one trait.
• Polygenic traits are
produced by two or
more genes.
Order of dominance:
brown > green > blue.
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
• An epistatic gene can interfere with other genes.
• This is like a “knock out” gene
7.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
The environment interacts with genotype.
• Height is an example of a
phenotype strongly affected
by the environment.
• The sex of sea turtles
depends on both genes
and the environment
• Phenotype is a combination
of genotype and
environment.
