The formation of flower color in a scented pot depends on the normal functioning of two non-allelic genes.
The formation of flower color in a scented pot depends on the normal functioning of two non-allelic genes. Let us designate them with the letters A and B. That is, for the corolla to be colored, it is necessary that at least one dominant allele of each gene is present in the genotype of the individual: A_B_. Homozygosity for the recessive (mutant) allele of any of the two genes will lead to the formation of a white color: A_bb; aaB_; aabb. Make a crossing scheme for two plants with white flowers: AAbb and aaBB. What phenotypic cleavage will occur in the second generation? Genes A and B are located on different chromosomes.

Conclusion: splitting dyed to white 9: 7, instead of 9: 3: 3: 1. Since there is an interaction of several non-allelic genes.
The phenomenon of the interaction of several non-allelic genes, leading to the development of a new manifestation of a trait that is absent in the parents, is called complementary interaction. Along with the complementary interaction, there are other options for the interaction of non-allelic genes, for example, epistasis, polymeria.
