Question

Genes showing multiple effects are
  1. Complementary genes
  2. Pseudogenes
  3. Pleiotropic genes
  4. Cistrons

A
Cistrons
B
Complementary genes
C
Pseudogenes
D
Pleiotropic genes
Solution
Verified by Toppr

A.Complmentary genes - Two genes present on separate loci that interact together to produce a dominant phenotype is called Complementary gene.

B.Pseudogenes – Genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but non-functional; they are regarded as defunct relatives of functional genes.

C.Pleiotrophic genes - The ability of a gene to have a multiple phenotypic effects is known as pleiotrophy and the gene is called Pleiotropic gene and the inheritance is called Pleiotropic inheritance. Eg:Sickle cell anaemia.

D.Cistrons – Functional parts of the DNA is called Cistron.

So, the correct option is ‘Pleiotropic genes’.
