IMPACT
ON GENETICS
The plain truth is that there is a good and bad side
to everything. This applies to genetics to. Non-Mendelian inheritance makes
things much more complicated, as it is basically a collection of exceptions
to the rules of Mendelian genetics. What's the good side? Well the good
side is that without Non-Mendelian genetics there would be no evolution
or variation. You see in Mendelian genetics the alleled cannot change and
form new types. Therefore what you start with is also what you end with.
However, in Non-Mendelian genetics Mutation and Incomplete dominance both
add new phenotypes, while Mutation adds new genotypes also. This makes
Non-Mendelian genetics extremely important.
