Discuss two-gene versus multifactorial inheritance now separated for clarity?
Genetics is the branch of science that deals with the study of gene and their inheritance from one generation to the next generation. Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics as he discovered the fundamental unit of inheritance, called a gene.
An allele is another important term used in genetics, alleles are the alternative form of the gene. According to Mendelian genetics, allele can be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele is responsible for the expression of the characteristics in the individual. The recessive allele can express themselves only if both copies of recessive alleles are present which means in the presence of dominant allele recessive cannot express their genotype as the dominant allele mask their expression.
