Complex Inheritance

Virginia SOL GEN.5

Investigate inheritance patterns beyond Mendelian genetics.

Study GEN.5 with SOL PrepBack to Biology II Genetics

What students need to be able to do

  • Apply rules of probability and statistics to determine if the actual results of a genetic cross fit the predicted results.
  • Develop and use a model to explain Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance, gene linkage, and chromosome mapping (polygenic inheritance, incomplete dominance, sex-linked inheritance, and codominance).
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about the importance of mitochondrial DNA.
