Table 2.

Expected segregation ratios associated with 6 different genetic models that assumed independent assortment or epistasis without linkage.

Model assumption Genetic model Segregation ratio
Independent assortment Single gene 1:1
Two additive genes 3:1
Epistasis Function in 2 genes 1:3
Function in 3 genes 1:7
Three genes possible, either a functional gene A or functional genes B and C 5:3
Three genes possible, a functional gene A is required and either a functional gene B or C 3:5
