Genetics Understanding Inheritance What controls traits?
... Unlike the genes in Mendel’s pea plants, some genes have more than two alleles, or multiple alleles. Human ABO blood type is an example of a trait that is determined by multiple alleles. There are three alleles for the ABO blood type—I A, I B, and i. The way the alleles combine results in one of fou ...

Epistasis
Epistasis is a phenomenon that consists of the effect of one gene being dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes' (genetic background). Similarly, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It was originally a concept from genetics but is now used in biochemistry, population genetics, computational biology and evolutionary biology. It arises due to interactions, either between genes, or within them leading to non-additive effects. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of traits.
