Chapter 12.2 Warm-Up Question

4/15/10Essential Question:

How do organisms change as they go through their life cycles?

Warm-Up Question

What are your genes / alleles made up of ? (Hint: Think basic hereditary molecule).

What is the function of your genes / alleles?

What are the products of the decoding of your genes / alleles?

Incomplete Dominance

When this condition occurs the phenotype of heterozygous individuals is intermediate ( in between) those of the two homozygous conditions.

Incomplete Dominance Example

Red snapdragons (RR)

crosses with

White snapdragons

(R’R’)

Page 5: Chapter 12.2 Warm-Up Question 4/15/10 Essential Question: How do organisms change as they go through their life cycles?

Incomplete Dominance Example

The result is a snapdragon with an intermediate phenotype

(RR’).

WHY?????????

Incomplete Dominance Example

Flowers contain enzymes that control pigment production.

R allele = functional enzyme.

R’allele = codes for a defective enzyme.

Codominance

Condition in which both alleles are expressed equally in the heterozygote.

Codominance

Example: Checkered chicken, p. 317 Figure 12.8.
