Term Definition
allele alternative form of a gene at a particular locus
pleiotrophy one gene many symptoms e.g. Sickle cell anemia
linked genes genes on the same chromosome that are usually expressed together
collaboration 2 alleles produce a phenotype that could not be produced by each gene alone
epistasis when one gene acts on or effects another gene
supplementry genes 1st allele produces a pigment ratio 9:3:4
complementry genes dominant allele at both loci to produce an enzyme at a metabolic pathway ratio 9:7
incomplete dominance 2 cells are being expressed
codominace mixture of one cell is being expressed in a hetrozygote
