    The document discusses monohybrid inheritance, focusing on codominance and sex-linked characteristics. It explains codominance as a situation where both alleles contribute to the phenotype, illustrated with examples such as flower color and ABO blood groups. Additionally, it highlights that sex-linked traits are often found on the X chromosome, leading to a higher prevalence of recessive conditions in males.

    CODOMINANCE
    Codominance is when both alleles in heterozygous organisms
    contribute to the phenotype.

    Instead of one allele completely hiding the effect of the other in a


    heterozygote, they both have an effect on the phenotype. This is
    codominance.

    Recall that phenotype refers to the physical characteristic of an organism


    as influenced by the genome and environmental factors.
    EXPECTED OFFSPRING
    When a parent with genotypes RR and
    rr cross, all offspring will be
    heterozygous Rr and since the color

    allele, all offspring will be red

    to the white color in flowers.

    Red color flowers has possible genotypes of

    In some cases, codominance may

    white and red colors both will
    rr
    contribute into the phenotype of the
    offspring. So the flower will be pink
    colored.
    SYMBOLS FOR
    CODOMINANCE
    We cannot represent codominance with a capital and small letter (Rr) because this
    suggests that one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. Which is not true in
    the case of codominance because both alleles contribute to the phenotype. So
    instead, we use a superscript.

    Example:
    w w
    C C White flowers
    R
    C C R Red flowers
    w R
    C C Pink flowers
    CODOMINANCE-INHERITANCE OF ABO BLOOD GROUPS
    The gene that determines your blood group is represented with the capital letter I. It
    has 3 alleles.

    CHARACTERISTICS
    When alleles that control a particular characteristic are found on the sex
    chromosome, this inheritance is called as sex linked.

    Most of these alleles that control a particular characteristic are mainly


    found in the X chromosome since it’s much larger than the Y
    chromosome.

    Thus, sex linked recessive conditions are more common in males since
    they only have one X chromosome.

    Though females have 2 copies of X chromosomes, it is likely to inherit


    one dominant allele that masks the effect of the recessive allele.
