Lesson 4: Non-Mendelian Genetics
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Explain deviations from Mendel’s model of the inheritance of traits, including sex-linked traits, linked genes, and non-nuclear inheritance.
Why do linked genes violate Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment?
How does the inheritance pattern of mitochondrial or chloroplast DNA differ from nuclear DNA inheritance?
5.4-Non-Mendelian Genetics
Analyze traits that do not follow strict Mendelian rules—such as genes that blend, express together, are stuck on the same chromosome, or are inherited entirely from one parent.
