examine cases involving 2 loci (genes) that each have 2 alleles
Crosses performed can be illustrated in general by
AaBb X AaBb
Where A is dominant to a and B is dominant to b
If these two genes govern two different traits
A 9:3:3:1 ratio is predicted among the offspring
simple Mendelian dihybrid inheritance pattern
If these two genes do affect the same trait the 9:3:3:1 ratio may
be altered
9:3:4, or 9:7, or 9:6:1, or 8:6:2 or 12:3:1, or 13:3, or 15:1

Epistatic Gene Interaction
Complementary gene action
Enzyme C and enzyme P cooperate tomake a product, therefore theycomplement one another

Epistasis describes the situation in which a gene masks thephenotypic effects of another gene
Epistatic interactions arise because the two genes encodeproteins that participate in sequence in a biochemicalpathway
If either loci is homozygous for a null mutation, none of that
enzyme will be made and the pathway is blocked

Inheritance of the Cream-Eye allele in
Drosophila
a rare fly with cream-colored eyes identified in a
true-breeding culture of flies with eosin eyes
possible explanations 1. Mutation of the eosin allele into a cream allele
2. Mutation of a 2nd gene that modifies expression of the
eosin allele
Epistasis of Involving Sex-linked Genes

The Hypothesis
Cream-colored eyes in fruit flies are due to the
effect of a second gene that modifies the
expression of the eosin allele

Interpreting the Data
Cross Outcome
P cross:
Cream-eyed male X
wild-type female
F1: all red eyes
F1 cross:
F1 brother X F1 sister F2: 104 females with red eyes47 males with red eyes
44 males with eosin eyes
14 males with cream eyes
F2 generation contains males with eosin eyes
This indicates that the cream allele is
not in the same gene as the eosin allele

Modeling the Data
Cream phenotype is recessive therefore the
cream allele is recessive allele (either sex-linked or autosomal)
The mutated allele of the cream gene modifies
the we allele, while the wt cream allele doesnot
C = Normal allele
Does not modify the eosin phenotype c a = Cream allele
Modifies the eosin color to cream, does not effect wt or
white allele of white gene.

Inheritance of comb morphology in chicken
First example of gene interaction

F2 generation consisted of chickens with four
types of combs
9 walnut : 3 rose : 3 pea : 1 single Bateson and Punnett reasoned that comb
morphology is determined by two different
genes R (rose comb) is dominant to r
P (pea comb) is dominant to p
R and P are codominant (walnut comb) rrpp produces single comb

Gene Interaction
Duplicate gene action
Enzyme 1 and enzyme 2 areredundant
They both make product C,
therefore they duplicateeach other
