Non-Mendelian inheritance

Non-Mendelian inheritance is any pattern in which traits do not segregate in accordance with Mendel's laws. These laws describe the inheritance of traits linked to single genes on chromosomes in the n

Co-dominant expression of genes for plumage colours.
In the genepool of cats (Felis catus) there is a recessive allele for orange coat on the X-Chromosome. In a male the Y-Chromosome cannot compensate this, so a tomcat with that allele is born orange. This allele is epistatic over some other coat color genes.

…too, as in the F2-generation homozygous individuals with the phenotypes of the P-generation appear. Intermediate inheritance was first examined by Carl Correns in flower colour of Mirabilis jalapa. Antirrhinum majus also shows intermediate inheritance of the pigmentation of the blossoms. In cases of co-dominance…
