Complementary factor
- In this type of gene interaction, dominant alleles from both the genes are required for the phenotype.
- If the individual is missing a dominant allele for either one of the two genes, they will be albino.
- This is because the dominant alleles of both the genes are required in the metabolic pathway of pigmentation.
- If any one of the dominant alleles is absent, colour formation will not occur.
- In sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus), both the genes C and P are required to synthesize anthocyanin pigment causing purple colour.
- But in the absence of any one cannot produce anthocyanin causing white flowers.
- So C and P are complementary to each other for anthocyanin formation.
