    Learning Outcomes

    • Explain how a trait with incomplete dominance will appear in a population
    • Explain how a trait with codominant inheritance will appear in a population
    • Explain how a trait with sex-linkage will appear in a population

    This practice activity will help you remember the difference between types of non-Mendelian inheritance and remember just how they work.
