๐ฑ 1. What is Gene Interaction? Gene interaction means one gene’s expression is modified by one or more other genes. It is beyond simple Mendelian (monogenic) inheritance. --- ๐ 2. Epistasis – Gene Masks Another Gene Definition: When one gene suppresses (masks) the expression of another non-allelic gene, it's called epistasis. Type of Epistasis Description Example Dominant Epistasis Dominant allele masks another gene Fruit color in summer squash Recessive Epistasis Recessive allele (homozygous) masks another Coat color in Labrador retrievers Duplicate Recessive Two recessive genes needed for a trait Flower color in sweet pea ๐ง Mnemonic: “Epistasis = External Power Influence” (One gene influences another) --- ๐งฌ 3. Pleiotropy – One Gene, Many Effects Definition: When a single gene affects multiple traits, it's called pleiotropy. Gene Trait Affected Example HbS gene (Sickle cell) RBC shape, malaria resistance, anemia Sickle-cell anemia PKU gene Mental development, s...
