PPT-Gene interactions How do the genes and alleles of genes interact to produce the phenotypes

The genotypephenotype relationships explored by Mendel are valid but atypical Most phenotypes are not derived from a single genesingle phenotype model Why More than two alleles often exist Dominance of one allele over another may not be complete.

Individual differences are due to. In a population, there may be more than two alleles for a given trait. If a gene exists in more than two alleles, it is said to have . multiple alleles.

Whereas a phenotypic trait results from the combined action of many genes and their products constantly interacting with the environment. The environment includes not only ecological factors such as temperature and the amount or quality of light but also internal factors such as hormones and enzymes. The enzymes are proteins and the specific molecular organization of protein is determined by genes. The enzymatic proteins perform a catalytic function in various cellular chemical (metabolic) reactions and causing the splitting or union of various molecules.. , . M.V.Sc. ., Ph.D..
