Genotype and Phenotype



Depiction of the relation between genes and features (genotype and phenotype). Every gene (red, blue in the left column) governs the formation of a gene product (1 gene > 1 enzyme hypothesis). A gene product can effect a number of features (pleiotropic effect). A feature again (for example "violet") may be the result of the combined effects of several gene products.
