Non-Mendelian Inheritance - Complete Interactive Lesson
Part 1: Incomplete Dominance
## Incomplete & Codominance
Part 1 of 7 — Incomplete & Codominance
- Incomplete dominance: heterozygote is intermediate (red × white = pink)
- Codominance: both alleles fully expressed (AB blood type)
- Neither follows simple dominant/recessive pattern
- Modified phenotypic ratios: 1:2:1 instead of 3:1

## Multiple Alleles & Polygenic
Part 2 of 7 — Multiple Alleles & Polygenic
- Multiple alleles: more than 2 alleles in population (ABO blood type: Iᴬ, Iᴮ, i)
- Polygenic traits: multiple genes affect one trait
- Examples: skin color, height, eye color
- Polygenic traits show continuous variation (bell curve)

## Epistasis
Part 3 of 7 — Epistasis
- One gene masks the expression of another
- Example: coat color in Labrador retrievers (E gene masks B gene)
- Modified dihybrid ratios: 9:3:4, 12:3:1, 9:7
- Different from dominance (which is within one gene)

## Sex-Linked Traits
Part 4 of 7 — Sex-Linked Traits
- X-linked traits: genes on X chromosome
- Males (XY) express all X-linked alleles (hemizygous)
- Females (XX) can be carriers of recessive X-linked traits
- Examples: color blindness, hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy
