Inheritance and Variation · Genetics & Heredity
Mendelian and Non-Mendelian Genetics
Explores dominant and recessive traits, incomplete dominance, codominance, and polygenic inheritance.
Key Questions
- 1How can we use mathematical probability to predict the traits of future generations?
- 2Why do some traits appear to skip generations while others are present in every generation?
- 3How do multiple genes interact to determine complex traits like human skin color or height?
