| | MENDELIAN PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE |
 | | A dominant trait is invariably expressed in the phenotype. | | | In autosomal dominant traits with complete penetrance, the chance that an affected person will have an affected child is 50%, providing the affected individual has an unaffected partner. | | | Multi-organ system involvement is also seen in such conditions as osteogenesis imperfecta (bones, teeth, sclera of the eye). |

| | Genes regulate every thing about our bodies; how we look, how our bodies function, and what traits we pass on to our children. | | | This does not mean that children will necessarily be affected; it does mean that each child has a 50:50 chance of inheriting the disorder. | | | People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair. |

| | My Understanding of Coat Color Genetics in Dogs With A Special Emphasis on Anatolian Shepherd Guardian Dogs |
| | This gene directs the distribution of eumelanic (black) pigment over the dog's nose and sometimes the ears, top of the back, chest, tail, and /or feet. | | | The range of distribution of eumelanic hair varies from only a small amount of darkening at the muzzle through an extensive spread across the dog's body. | | | This locus doesn't affect the dog's skin or phaeomelanic (yellow) hair. |

| | These hairs may be found either in a distinctive pattern on the points (such as legs, mane and tail), or black hair may be the only hair color (with the exception of white markings) over the entire body. | | | Tobiano spotting, symbolized by TO, is a variable restricted pattern of white hair with underlying pink skin which can occur with any coat color. | | | Often when the gene pair is heterozygous, one allele may be visibly expressed but the other is not. |

| | Recessive and Dominant Inheritance |
| | When the affected parent mates with an unaffected and non-carrier mate (dd), the offspring are either affected or not affected, but they are not carriers. | | | One parent has a single, faulty dominant gene (D), which overpowers its normal counterpart (d), affecting that parent. | | | This type of inheritance was first shown by Mendel. |

| | Recessive gene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As both parents are heterozygous for the disorder, the chance of two disease alleles landing in one of their offspring is 25% (in autosomal dominant traits this is higher). | | | Recessive genetic disorders occur when both parents are carriers and each contributes an allele to the embryo. | | | An example to prove the point is sickle cell anemia. |

| | Sometimes, something occurs to change the chemical makeup of a gene and creates an alternate to the normal dominant behavior. | | | A recessive gene is one that must be present in a pair (that is, on both sides of the locus) to be expressed in the offspring. | | | When the pair of genes do not express the same trait, like "Cc" from our examples, the feature they represent is called heterozygous, or non-purebreeding. |

| | Dominant gene - The GENE of a pair that is more likely to be expressed in the organism's PHENOTYPE than the other member of the pair (the matching gene, or ALLELE). | | | The colour of a person's eyes for instance depends upon the gene for eye-colour inherited from both parents, and which member of that pair is dominant and which is RECESSIVE. |

| | Certain genes are dominant, and you only need one of the pair to give you its trait. | | | However, several traits are determined by only one gene, and if you have the gene then you have the trait. | | | These traits are highly complex, and involve the interaction of many genes. |
