Mendelian genetics- An analysis of genetic crosses depends upon an understanding of Mendel's two laws: The principle of segregation (First Law): The two members of a gene pair (alleles) segregate (separate) from each other in the formation of gametes. Half the gametes carry one allele, and the other half carry the other allele.
Incomplete dominance- refers to a genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, and therefore results in a new phenotype.
Inheritance of human blood types- Blood type (or blood group) is determined, in part, by the ABO blood groupantigens present on red blood cells. A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs).
Sex-linked inheritance- the pattern of inheritance that may result from a mutant gene located on either the X or Y chromosome.
Pedigrees- the record of descent of an animal, showing it to be purebred.
Human genetic disorders- Hemophilia, Cystic Fibrosis, PKU, Sickle-cell anemia
