“Polygenic inheritance is defined as quantitative inheritance, where multiple independent genes have an additive or similar effect on a single quantitative trait.”

Mendel proposed the laws of inheritance. The law of dominance states that whenever the dominant allele is present, the dominant allele will express itself. The expression of the recessive allele is suppressed in the presence of dominant allele. The recessive allele does not get lost. The expression remains masked in the progenies of F1 generation and reappears in the next generation. For example, when pea plants with round seeds (RR) are crossed with plants with wrinkled seeds (rr), all seeds in F1 generation were found to be round (Rr). When these round seeds were self-fertilised, both the round and wrinkled seeds appeared in F2 generation in 3: 1 ratio.

Test cross is a cross between an organism with unknown genotype and a recessive parent. It is used to determine whether an individual is homozygous or heterozygous for a trait.
Example:
- Suppose you have a violet and white flower and violet color (P) is dominant to white (p). The white flower must be homozygous for the recessive allele, but the genotype of the violet flower is unknown. It could be either PP or Pp.
- A testcross will determine the organism's genotype. The unknown genotype can be determined by observing the phenotypes of the resulting offspring.
- If crossing the unknown dominant phenotype (PP or Pp genotype) individual with the recessive phenotype individual produces only dominant phenotypes (no recessive), then the unknown individual is homozygous dominant.
- If any recessive phenotypic individuals result from the cross, then the unknown individual must carry the recessive allele, and have the heterozygous genotype.

In honey bees, the male is haploid while the female is diploid. Haplodiploidy occurs in some insects like bees, ants and wasps. Male insects are haploid because they develop partheno-genetically from unfertilized eggs. The phenomenon is called arehenotoky. Meiosis does not occur during the formation of sperms. Females grow from fertilized eggs and are hence diploid. Queen bee picks up all the sperms from the drone during nuptial flight and stores the same in her seminal vesicle. Formation of worker bees(diploid females) and drones(haploid males) depends upon the brood cells visited by the queen. While visiting the smaller brood cells, the queen emits sperms from its seminal receptacle after laying the eggs. Males are normally fertile haploids due to development from unfertilized eggs. Occasionally diploid infertile males are also produced from heterozygous females through fertilization.

Klinefelter's syndrome isn't inherited, but rather occurs only as a result of a random genetic error after conception.
Males born with Klinefelter's syndrome may have low testosterone and reduced muscle mass, facial hair and body hair. Most males with this condition produce little or no sperm.
Treatment may include testosterone replacement and fertility treatment.

Down's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in extra genetic material from chromosome 21.
Down's syndrome causes a distinct facial appearance, intellectual disability and developmental delays. It may be associated with thyroid or heart disease.
Early intervention programmes with a team of therapists and special educators who can treat each child's specific situation are helpful in managing Down's syndrome.

Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes. Sets of chromosomes refer to the number of maternal and paternal chromosome copies, respectively, in each homologous chromosome pair, which chromosomes naturally exist as.

Point mutation is the mutation that affects a single nucleotide or nucleic acid. It commonly occurs when one base is substituted for the other. It may also result due to insertion and deletion of a single base pair.
Examples of point mutation are:
- Cystic fibrosis: It occurs due to the deletion of three nucleotides in the CFTR gene. In this, an amino acid phenylalanine is lost which causes misfolding of protein.
- Sickle cell anemia: It is caused by single point mutation in the beta haemoglobin gene. This results in the conversion of GAG codon into GUG that encodes amino acid valine.

Pedigree analysis is the study of a particular trait that is inherited from one generation to another. During these days in many cases, including various species of plant and animal, scientists are using the pedigree analysis to analyze the inheritance of phenotypes, or traits, using mating experiments called crosses.
Pedigree analysis is like a chart that represents a family tree, which displays the members of the family who are affected by a genetic trait or having a genetic disorder or maybe carrier of the disease.
In the family tree, the rows represent the generations of a family, squares represent the males and circles represent the females.
The pedigree analysis helps to know the trait of inheritance for a particular trait, and also know whether the trait is getting inherited or not.
