|
Answer» Explanation: Complementary genes it may be defined as two or more dominant genes present on separate gene loci, which interact to PRODUCE a particular phenotypic trait, but neither of them produce a particular trait in the absence of other. Complementary genes were first studied by Bateson and Punnett in the CASE of flower colour of sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus). SUPPLEMENTARY genes: They are two independent genes present on DIFFERENT on different gene loci, each producing its own trait. These genes interact when present in dominant state to produce a new trait. |
