Mo5-L2b: What are the Patterns of Mo5-L2c: Why are Disease Inherited?
Inheritance?

Some traits, such as height, are controlled by many
genes. Mo5-L2c Why are Disease Inherited?

KEY CONCEPTS:

of disease?

Let us learn some vocabulary

Pedigree
a model that shows genetic traits that were inherited
by members of a family.
Polygenic inheritance occurs when multiple genes
determine the phenotype of a trait.

SUMMARY
Genetic Engineering
What are the Patterns of Inheritance?
the modification of genetic material of an organism
There are many patterns of inheritance, by inserting DNA from another organism.
including incomplete dominance,
codominance, and polygenic inheritance.
