Question

When two genetic loci produce identical phenotypes in cis as well as in trans position, they are considered to be

• A. Pseudo alleles
• B. The parts of the same gene
• C. Multiple alleles
• D. Different genes

Answer 1

The correct option is A Pseudo alleles

Pseudoalleles are the alleles having two or more closely linked genes on a chromosome and acts like a single member of an allelic pair but occupy distantly, undergo crossing-over and recombination. Hence, produces the same type of phenotype in different position such as cis and trans position.
