Complementary gene
(9:7)
Production of one phenotype requires the presence ofdominant alleles of both the genes controlling thecharacter
C W
ccWC wwccww
Contrasting phenotype
Anyone of the two dominant gene is unable to produce thephenotype when alone
They complement each other to produce concernedphenotype when they are together

Duplicate gene
(15:1)
Characters governed by duplicate gene action aredetermined by two completely dominant genes
Duplicate gene action: The presence of a single dominantallele of any one of the two genes governing the traitproduce the dominantphenotype

Suppressor gene
(13:3)
The gene don’t directly cause the expression of thecharacters but suppress the expression of other genes

Red colour in wheat is produced by the genotype R_B_, whiteby the double recessive genotype, rrbb. The genotypes R_bband rrB_ produce brown kernels. If homozygous red varietyis crossed to a white variety what phenotypic results areexpected in the F1 and F2?

The two genes affecting the character W Y
When both genes are present in recessive state adifferent phenotype is produced
They produce distinct phenotype when they are alone

But when the genes are present together, the expressionof one gene masks the expression of other

Fruits of Cucurbita pepa will be in green, yellow and whitecolour. White is dominant over both yellow and green butyellow is dominant over green only. White colour isdetermined by the dominant gene W and no other gene forfruit colour can be expressed in its presence. Thusdominant W is epistatic to two other fruit colour. In thepresence of homozygous recessive, ww another gene Ydetermine the yellow colour. Homozygous recessive plantsfor both genes, wwyy bears green fruit that the classicalratio the first two classes of a dihybrid ratio arephenotypic ally similar

In this gene interaction, the dominant allele of one geneproduces a phenotypic effect
The dominant allele of the other gene does not produce any phenotypic effect
But when it is present with dominant allele of the firstgene, it modifies the phenotypic effect produced by thefirst gene

The coat colour of mice is control by two genes C and A
C alone determine black colour but due to supplementary effect of A the colour is become black

Mating between black mice of identical genotype produced
offspring as follows; 14 Gray, 47 Black and 19 Albino.

2. What are the phenotypes of the parents and offspring?
