Bio class 26

Today in class we learned about the integration of different genes. Sometimes two genes will determine a certain phenotype such as color. 
In class, we compared the different phenotypes of the labs as a result of specific combination of genes.

We also learned about incomplete dominance where there is no longer a dominant gene. 
In this example you can see the different phenotype a for a mix of two incomplete dominant alleles. By mixing the red and white colored flowers, one can create a pink bloom.

Next we learned about sex-linked genes. Here's an example:
Males contain a Y allele that certify a that they are male. This also allows the female     Gene to dictate what the phenotype will be.
