What Is Post Mendelian Genetics?

Whenever two genes combine and the offspring's phenotype is a compromise between the effects of the two genes, then neither gene has expressed dominance over the other gene. In fact, one gene is incompletely dominant over the other gene that is inactive. ... According to Mendel, the offspring should be either red or white.

What is post Mendelian?

The basic principles of heredity were initially discovered by Mendel in 1866 and rediscovered by three scientists de Vries, Correns and Tschermak in 1900. These concepts are often referred to as “Mendelian Deviations” or exceptions or anomalies. ...
