Mendel's research was only the beginning. Scientists have
also discovered other ways in which 1) genes/gametes can
be inherited. One example is called incomplete
2) variance/dominance; this is when two 3) alleles/cells
produce a blended 4) trait/offspring (e.g. red + white = pink).
Another example is co-dominance when two or more
alleles are 5) dominant/recessive and can both be seen
(e.g. red + white = red + white). Finally, there are sex-linked
traits; these are 6) passed/inherited on from one
7) generation/offspring to the next, but are often only seen
in members of one sex.
