Knowing about genetics and the way they work according to Mendel reveals any steps needed to avoid a disease appearing in an offspring. If you and another individual have a child and you are a carrier for a disease, you must know to take steps to prevent the disease from affecting any offspring you might have.

The interaction of genes that are not alleles, or one gene being suppressed by another. An example is coat color in many animals. Different genes contribute to the steps required in order to make the coat color from a precursor molecule, meaning that the coat requires other steps to occur.

Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygous phenotype is distinct from the other homozygous phenotypes. Examples of this are a red and white flower producing a pink flower, or a white and black mouse creating a gray mouse.

Co-dominance occurs when neither allele is dominant or recessive, and both become expressed. An example would be a red flower and a white flower crossed to produce a red and white striped flower. Another example is roan fur in cattle, which occurs when a red and white cow produce a cow with red and white hairs, called a roan.

Multiple alleles occurs when three or greater different forms of a gene can occupy the same locus. A total of two alleles can occur in any single organism. Examples are the human ABO blood system and the human-leukocyte antigen gene.

Polygenic inheritance happens during the chance that one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Examples of this in people are skin color, eye color, and height.
