Question
Non-Mendelian Inheritance Quiz
Match each of the following examples to the appropriate type of non-Mendelian inheritance.
1. A homozygous recessive genotype for the gene that encodes phenylalanine hydroxylase
(which breaks down the amino acid phenylalanine) causes lighter skin color, a musty
odor, differences in intellectual development, and seizures.
2. In pea plants, alleles of Gene W control flower color, with the dominant allele (W)
leading to purple flower color, and the recessive allele (w) leading to white flower color.
Usually, a genotype of WW or Ww leads to purple flowers. However, when Gene C is
homozygous recessive, WW or Ww plants always have white flowers.
3. In mallard ducks, feather coloring is controlled by Gene F. A dominant allele (F) leads to
green head feathers, while a recessive allele (f) leads to brown head feathers. In male
mallards, inheritance of one or more F alleles always leads to the green head feather
trait. But female mallards always have brown head feathers, regardless of whether they
are FF, Ff, or ff.
a) Multigene (or polygenic) inheritance
b) Epistasis
c) Pleiotropy
d) Sex-limited inheritance
e) Sex-influenced inheritance
f) Genetic anticipation
g) Lethal allele
