This document provides an introduction to gene interactions, also known as neo-Mendelism or post-Mendelian genetics. It discusses how multiple gene pairs can interact to influence a single trait, modifying Mendel's expected inheritance ratios. Specifically, it describes different types of gene interactions including dominance, epistasis, inhibitory genes, masking genes, complementary/duplicate recessive genes, and duplicate dominant genes. These gene interactions result in non-Mendelian inheritance ratios such as 9:3:4, 13:3, 12:3:1, 9:7, and 15:1. The document uses examples from coat color in mice, feather color in fowl, and flower color in sweet peas to illustrate these concepts
