Well, I have a problem, Eliya. My blood type isn’t the same as my parents. I am blood type O while my mom has blood type A and dad has blood type B.
That’s not a problem! Let me tell you something. I had my genetics class and I learned that there is a possibility that your parents will have a child with blood type A, B, AB, and/or O and you got the blood type O. You don’t have to worry about it.
Oh! Now I know that it is possible to have blood type O offspring even if my parents are type A and B. By the way, the topic is interesting! What is that topic all about?
Yes, really! It is about non-Mendelian Inheritance. The topic that I have told you is about the multiple alleles which means having more than two alleles. There are 6 more non-Mendelian Inheritances.
Wow! Can you share with me another non-Mendelian Inheritance?
Sure! Can you see that flower? It is a pink flower. However, the parents of it are red and white flowers. This is called incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is when two alleles blend resulting in a new phenotype.
Wow, amazing! If we have some time, tell me more about it. Thank you, Eliya!
