A single phenotype that results from a combination of two different genes in which one gene interferes with the expression of another gene is known as (a) pleiotropy. (b) complete dominance. (c) incomplete dominance. (d) codominance. (e) epistasis.
When one physical trait is affected by two or more pairs of alleles, the pattern is called a. incomplete dominance. d. multiple allele. b. codominance. e. polygenic inheritance. c. homozygous dominant.
a. multiple alleles b. polygenic trait c. pleiotropic gene d. incomplete dominance e. epistatic interactions The environment may influence the phenotypic distribution of the trait.
