Question

explain about complementary genes and supplementary genes briefly​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Complementary Genes:

They are those non-allelic genes which independently show a similar effect but produce a new trait when present together in the dominant form. Complementary genes were first studied by Bateson and Punnet (1906) in case of flower colour of Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus).

Supplementary genes

are genes that both contribute to a single characteristic, where one gene can mask the effect of the other. You may also think of supplementary genes in terms of one gene producing a characteristic and the second as only being able to 'supplement' this characteristic.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation: Complementary genes are present on different genetic loci but interact with each other to express a single character in combination. That is they both together produce a particular phenotypic trait in an individual. Supplementary genes are the genes that include two pairs of non-allelic genes.

Supplementary genes are genes that both contribute to a single characteristic, where one gene can mask the effect of the other. You may also think of supplementary genes in terms of one gene producing a characteristic and the second as only being able to 'supplement' this characteristic.
