Exceptions to Mendel’s laws
Exceptions to Mendel’s laws; Allelic variation and gene function
- According to Mendel, a single gene controls one character and the alleles of a pair are related as dominant and recessive.
- Various exceptions are existed of the above notion. In some cases more than one pair of genes influence the same character.
- These may interact in different ways by assign, subtracting, or modifying the characters in question in, or may inhibit or reverse the effects of another pairs of genes.
- This concept was introduced by Bateson known as Bateson factor hypothesis
