In general, one gene affects a single character. But many genes are known to affect more than one character. Such genes are called pleiotropic genes […]
The classical phenotypic ratio resulting from the mating of dihybrid genotypes is 9:3:3:1. This ratio appears whenever the alleles at both loci display dominant and […]
Mendel studied the pattern of inheritance using several true-breeding varieties of garden peas. He concentrated on transmission of seven easily identified traits, and crossed plants […]
