LECTURE OUTLINE
... Polygenic inheritance occurs when a trait is governed by two or more sets of alleles. These often result in a continuous variation of phenotypes. Skin Color Skin color is an example of a polygenic trait that is likely controlled by many pairs of alleles. 23.3 Environmental Influences Environmental f ...

How natural selection changes allele frequencies
... Drift changes allele frequencies randomly (up or down) and slowly (proportional to 1/N). Selection biases the direction of allele-frequency change, and increases its speed. Alleles change frequency at speeds proportional to their difference in average fitness: Thus if selection is strong, it can cha ...

Other Genetic Crosses
... Many genes have more than two alleles and are therefore said to have multiple alleles. This does not mean that an individual can have more than two alleles. It only means that more than two possible exist in a population. One of the best-known examples is coat color in rabbits. A rabbit’s coat color ...

Mendelian Genetics Notes
... Alternative versions of genes (alleles) account for variation in inherited characters. (Brown eyes vs blue eyes) For each character (eye color), an organism inherits 2 alleles, one from each parent. If the 2 alleles differ (Brown eyes vs blue eyes), the dominant allele is fully expressed in th ...
