Summary Introduction

To determine:

The potential consequence of an error in one of the genes inmultiple gene interactions.

Introduction:

Multiple gene interaction or polygeneis the group of genes that interact additively to give rise to a particularphenotype. The interacting allelic pairs may be present on differentchromosomes. This results in variation in the phenotype continuously asproducts of different genes produce a quantitative effect on the phenotype
