What do you know about Non-Mendelian inheritance? Mendelian inheritance refers to patterns of inheritance that are characteristic of organisms that reproduce sexually. And Non-Mendelian inheritance is any pattern of inheritance in which traits do not segregate by Mendel's laws. These laws describe the inheritance of traits linked to single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus. This so-called Non-mendelian inheritance plays an important role in several disease processes. Non-mendelian inheritance can manifest as incomplete dominance, where offspring do not display traits of either parent but rather, a mix of both. Geneticists have found that not all traits have simple dominant/recessive traits. These cases of non-Mendelian inheritance are often sorted into three categories: incomplete dominance, codominance, and sex-linked traits. Non-Mendelian inheritance describes the inheritance of traits which does not follow Mendelian laws. These laws describe the inheritance of traits linked to single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus.
