Question

In a species of bird, a particular color pattern on its feathers is controlled by two genes. Gene M has two alleles, but Gene N has five alleles. How does this relate to the two-factor genotype determination?

Options

It still follows the rule as long as the genes are on different chromosomes.

It is an exception because the total number of alleles for the two genes exceeds what's typical for the two-factor model.

It depends on whether the alleles of these genes interact epistatically.

As long as the alleles assort independently, it's not an exception.
