Mendelian trait

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007176",
  "term": "Mendelian trait",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phenotype whose inheritance follows Mendel's laws, being governed by a single gene locus with dominant or recessive expression, so that it appears in predictable ratios among relatives. Cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive condition, and Huntington disease, an autosomal dominant one, are examples. Polygenic traits such as height contrast with them by varying continuously across a population.",
