Codominance
Codominance: Neither allele masks the other so that effects of both alleles are observed in heterozygote without blending

Definition
• Some traits are determined by the combined effect of two or more pairs of alleles. These traits are called polygenic traits.
• Each pair of alleles adds something to the resulting phenotype.
• Other names for polygenic traits are multi-factorial traits, or quantitative traits.
Polygenic traits are continuous
• Because so many alleles contribute to the final phenotype, a variety of phenotypes can occur!
• Polygenic inheritance is responsible for many phenotypic traits. Examples include skin pigmentation, height, intelligence and stature. (note that these traits all result from the interaction of the genes with environmental
factors)
Polygenic Inheritance -Discontinuous Variation.
• A characteristic shows DISCONTINUOUS VARIATION if it can be used to divide up the members of a species into two distinct groups.
• e.g. Can roll tongue vs Cannot roll tongue.
• Such information is often presented in a bar chart.
Polygenic Inheritance -Continuous Variation.
• A characteristic shows CONTINUOUS VARIATION when it varies amongst the members of a species in a smooth continuous way from one extreme to another, and does not fall into distinct groups.
• e.g. Height – varies from very small to very tall. Also, skin colour, weight
• Such information is often presented in a HISTOGRAM.
Effect of Environment• Many of these characteristics are
influenced by the environment.• Polygenic inheritance +
environmental factors = phenotypic characteristic which shows a wide range of continuous variation and a normal pattern of distribution.
Many characteristics which show continuous variation (e.g. Height, foot size, etc.) are influenced by
the environment• They are dependant on favourable
environmental conditions for their full phenotypic expression.
• For example, regardless of how many dominant alleles for height that a person inherits, he or she will not reach their full potential for height without consuming an adequate diet during childhood and adulthood.

Examples of Polygenic Traits
• Pepper Color
Gene 1: R=red r=yellow
Gene 2: Y=absence of chlorophyll (no green)
y=presence of chlorophyll (green)
Pepper Color
• Possible genotypes:
• R-/Y- : red (red/no chlorophyll)• R-/yy : brown/orange
(red/chlorophyll)• rr/Y- : yellow (yellow/no chlorophyll)• rr/yy : green (yellow/chlorophyll)
Pepper Color
• Try crossing a brown pepper (RRyy) with a yellow pepper (rrYY).
• Which trait will your offspring (F1 generation) produce?
• What traits are produced when you cross two of the peppers found in the F1 generation?
More Polygenic Traits
• Chicken Combs:
– There are 4 different comb shapes that can appear in a chicken.
– Comb shape is controlled by two genes found on two different pairs of chromosomes.• Gene 1: R• Gene 2: P
Chicken Comb Example:
• 4 different phenotypes result:
• Rose Combs (R-pp)• Walnut Combs (R-P-)• Pea Combs (rrP-)• Single Combs (rrpp)
Another example of a polygenic trait:
• Hair Color– Hair color is controlled by alleles on
chromosomes 3, 6, 10, and 18. – The more dominant alleles that appear
in the genotype, the darker the hair!
Polygenic inheritance
In humans, most traits that have anything to do with size, shape, and color are controlled by multiple sets of genes.
(e.g. AaBbCc – three sets for one trait)What if you did the following cross? AaBbCc x AaBbCc – each parent contribution?3 dominant (ABC) / 3 recessive (abc)2 dominant/1 recessive (ABc, AbC, aBC)1 dominant/2 recessive (Abc, aBc, abC)
The number of dominant alleles determines how dark (or how big) the phenotype will be…AABBCC (very dark) aabbcc (very light)
Note the following Punnett Square…
Practice Problem
The length of a stem is controlled by three genes – A_B_C_
aabbcc – 4 cm tallAABBCC – 16 cm tallEach upper case allele represents an
equal portion of the trait.Suppose a 16 cm tall plant was
crossed with a plant 4 cm tall. How tall is the F1?
F1 – 100% AaBbCcBase height (4 cm) + # of upper case alleles (3 @ 2cm
each)
4 + 6 = 10cm tall plants (AaBbCc)
Normal Body Cells
• In the nucleus of every body cell there are 46 chromosomes
• 22 homologous pair and one pair of sex chromosomes
Red Green Colour Blindness
• Inability to distinguish between red and green
• A red green colour blind person does not see the number 29 on the right
• In humans normal vision is completely dominant to red-green colour blindness
Genetics of Colour Blindness
• Normal vision C• Red-green colour blindness c• Heterozygous females are called
carriers• Work out the genotypes of the
following family tree
Answers
• Carrier mother XCXc
• Nomal father XCY
• Normal daughter XCXC
• Carrier daughter XCXc
• Normal son XCY• Colour-blind son XcY
Haemophilia
• Haemophiliacs cannot make the blood clotting protein Factor VIII.
• It caused by a recessive allele carried on the X but not the Y chromosome
• Hence is sex-linked
Muscular Dystrophy
• Skeletal muscles loose their normal structure and fibrous tissue develops in their place
• Caused by a recessive allele carried on the X chromosome and is sex-linked
