LT = I can differentiate between the types of inheritance, monohybrid, multiple alleles, polygenic traits, and sex-linked traits.
- So what makes human sex inheritance different than other animals?
- I can differentiate between the Mendelian inheritance and sex-linked traits. Watch the video at this link from 8:10 - 14:23 - a review of Polygenic Traits (Multiple Genes) and an introduction to Sex-Linked traits.
- After watching, answer the following in your journal: How is what Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered about sex-linked traits the same as what Mendel discovered? How is it different?
- Sex-Linked Traits Problems from our Genetics Packet.
