Summary Introduction

Concept introduction: Alleles do not always follow the laws of Mendelian inheritance. Some genes, such as pleiotropic genes, do not follow the pattern of Mendelian inheritance. Pleiotropic genes control multiple traits. If the pleiotropic genes are mutated, all the traits are affected.
