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
supplementary genes 1st allele produces a pigment ratio 9:3:4
complementary genes dominant allele at both loci to produce an enzyme at a metabolic pathway ratio 9:7
incomplete dominance Neither allele masks the other therefore making the heterozgyous form an intermediate expression
codominance both alleles are being expressed independantly and equally

rgresson : Changed codominace → mixture of one cell is being expressed in a hetrozygote to codominace → both alleles are being expressed independantly and equally
rgresson : Changed incomplete dominance → 2 cells are being expressed to incomplete dominance → Neither allele masks the other therefore making the heterozgyous form an intermeidate expression
rgresson : Changed complementry genes → dominant allele at both loci to produce an enzyme at a metabolic pathway ratio 9:7 to complementary genes → dominant allele at both loci to produce an enzyme at a metabolic pathway ratio 9:7
rgresson : Changed codominace → both alleles are being expressed independantly and equally to codominance → both alleles are being expressed independantly and equally
rgresson : Changed supplementry genes → 1st allele produces a pigment ratio 9:3:4 to supplementary genes → 1st allele produces a pigment ratio 9:3:4
rgresson : Changed incomplete dominance → Neither allele masks the other therefore making the heterozgyous form an intermeidate expression to incomplete dominance → Neither allele masks the other therefore making the heterozgyous form an intermediate expression
