Part B: Determine Trait Variation in the Species
For this modeling activity, assume that your species reproduces sexually. This assumption implies that it inherits half of its chromosomes from its mother and half from its father. Recall that in sexual reproduction, individuals inherit homologous pairs of chromosomes—one from the father and one from the mother. This arrangement allows for two alleles for every gene. The alleles can be dominant or recessive. You will model three traits controlled by three gene types on homologous chromosomes. Your genes should have these patterns of inheritance:
Trait 1: Simple dominant/recessive inheritance
Example: In pea plants, YY and Yy genotypes will yield yellow pea pods, but inherited yy will yield green pea pods.
Trait 2: Co-dominance
Co-dominance occurs when there’s more than one dominant allele and they express equally.
Example: Human blood type is co-dominant. IA (type A blood), IB (type B), and i (O blood) are controlled by A and B dominant alleles. If a person inherits A and B alleles, they’ll have AB blood. O blood is caused by two recessive alleles.
Trait 3: Incomplete dominance
Incomplete dominance occurs when there is more than one dominant gene, but the expression of both genes creates a blending of traits.
Example: RR = red flowers, WW = white flower, but RW = pink flowers.
Come up with your three traits and the possible inherited phenotypes. Here’s an example:
