Exercise 5

For Mendelian traits, the nuclear genotype (i.e., the alleles found on chromosomes in the cell nucleus) directly influences an offspring's traits. In contrast, for non-Mendelian inheritance patterns, the offspring's phenotype cannot be reliably predicted solely from its genotype. For the following traits, what do you need to know to predict the phenotypic outcome
A. Dwarfism due to a mutant Igf2 allele
B. Snail coiling direction
C. Leber hereditary optic neuropathy
