This is what you said a second time!
<The mutated "Y" gene is the "y" allele, which is the non-functional
<gene - actually it's the enzyme that "y" produces that is
<non-functional. I wish you would learn how to read before you
<complain.
Ben Z,It should be:
Y is the mutated less functional gene and y is the wildtype gene
for green Why Y for a mutated gene? Because it is a dominant
gene. By the way the convention how to write wildttype and mutant
genes is different for each organism studied!
