Instructions:

In Module 4, we learned about genetics, including traits that “break the rules” of Mendel. For this assignment, you will create an infographic that communicates the information below.  See the attached handout to view resources that can assist you in creating some of these deliverables.

1. Create a deliverable that addresses  two (2) traits that "break the rules" of Mendel from the categories listed below. 

. Codominance

. Incomplete Dominance

. Multiple Alleles

. Sex-Linked

. Recessive Lethal

2. For each category selected, make sure to correctly name the trait, how it fits into the category, and how often the trait is seen among living organisms. Your examples must be different from those presented in the textbook.

. This might include the chromosomal location

. And/or the number of alleles (e.g., spots where the traits are located on the chromosomes

. And/or the “mixture” of the alleles

. And/or how the trait is diagnosed (if a disease or condition)

3. Pictures and other graphics are welcome, but if they are not your own be sure to CITE where you found the information (remember your examples must be different from those presented in the textbook).
