Lecture, chapter 3 - Mendelian genetics

Today we finished chapter 3, on Mendelian genetics.

We talked about how human genes do follow Mendel's principles, and talked about a few examples of traits on which Mendelian inheritance can be studied by observing phenotypes.

We also discussed how there are cases in which there are deviations from Mendelian phenotypic proportions:
  • Incomplete dominance
  • Codominance
  • Multiple alleles
  • Gene interactions (including epistasis)
