gene interaction Flashcards
when the recessive allele of one gene masks the effects of either allele of the second gene
recessive epistasis
caused by the dominant allele of one gene, masking the action of either allele of the other gene
dominant epistasis
one dominant allele directly suppresses another gene’s function
dominant supression
two genes work together to produce a phenotype, both dominant alleles are required
complementary gene
occurs when two different genes produce the same phenotype, and having at least one dominant alleles at either locus is sufficient to express the dominant trait
duplicate gene
