Gene Interaction

The document discusses non-allelic gene interactions, which involve how different genes influence a single trait. It categorizes gene interactions into intragenic and intergenic types, providing examples such as complementary, supplementary genes, and epistasis. The document also explains the ratios of phenotypes resulting from these interactions using examples from plants and animals.

Gene Interaction
Understanding of Genetics by considering
how the allelic variants of two different
genes affect a single trait. This
phenomenon is known as gene interaction.

Gene interaction is of two types:


1.Intragenic Gene interaction
2 Intergenic Gene interaction
Intragenic(Inter allelic) Intergenic(Non-allelic)
 when 2 alleles of a gene interact in  when two or more independent gene
such a way to produce a phenotype present on same or different
different from from typica dominant - chromosome, interact to produce a
recessive phenotype. different expression.
 Example - incomplete/co-  Example Epistasis, Complem-entary
Dominance, Multiple allele & Supplementary gene
Complementary Gene
 Two pair of non allelic genes are essential in dominant form to produce a particular character.
 Such genes that Act together to produce an effect ,that neither can produce its effect
separately are called complementary genes.
 Example:- Colour of flowers in Lathyrus odoratus
 Raw material to chromagen by Gene C chromagen to Anthocyanin pigment by Gene P (Purple)
 Ratio – 9:7(white:purple)
Supplementary Gene
 Supplementary Gene are a pair of non-allelic
gene, one of which produces effect
independently in the dominant state, while the
dominant allele of second gene is without any
independent effect but is able to modify the
effect of first to produce a new trait.
 Example :- Lablab has two genes K and L
 Dominant K produce Khaki colour
 Recessive kk produce Buff (yellow) colour
 In dominant state the Supplementary gene L
changes the effect of dominant pigment-
forming gene K into chocolate colour.
 The F₂ ratio is 9:3:4
 Chocolate : Khaki : Buff
Epistasis
 Epistasis is the phenomenon of masking or suppressing the expression of a gene by another non-
allelic gene.
 The gene which suppresses the expression of a non-allelic gene is known as Epistatic Gene.
 The gene or locus which is suppressed by the presence of a non-allelic gene is termed as Hypostatic
gene.
 Epistatic genes may be recessive or dominant in their effect. (It is different from Dominance)

 Dominant Epistasis:-The dominant gene at one locus suppresses the expression of another
gene at a different locus regardless of its allelic condition (dominant or recessive).
 Example: Three types of pigmentation occur in Dogs : White is most Dominant
Brown is least Dominant
 The F₂ ratio is 12:3:1
 White : Black : Brown

 Recessive Epistasis:-A type of epistasis where a recessive homozygous genotype at one


locus (aa) suppresses the expression of non-allelic genes at another locus.
 Example: Coat color in Mice
 Bb- Albino{White}
Simple Interaction
 The same character is influenced by two non-allelic gene pairs.
 First case was discovered by Bateson and Punnett while they were
investigating the inheritance of comb morphology in chickens.
 4 types of combs:① Rose Comb (RRPP)
② Pea comb (rrPP)
③ Walnut Comb (RaPp)
4.Single Comb (rrpp)
 Crossed a Wyandotte having rose comb and to Brahma having Pea comb.
 All F1 offspring had walnut Comb
 F2 generation consisted of four types of combs in ratio 9:3:3:1
 Walnut: Rose: Pea: Single
 The important difference here is that we have four distinct categories of a
single trait.
