Each chromosome carries many genes. The genes located on one chromosome form a linkage group. Two or more genes on the same chromosome ar ...

The making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and Adaptation
... The rock pocket mouse, Chaetodipus intermedius, is a small, nocturnal animal found in the deserts of the southwestern United States. Because most rock pocket mice have a sandy, light-colored coat, they are able to blend in with the light color of the desert rocks and sand that they live on. But popu ...

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.
