Pleiotropy: Some genes have
multiple effects on different
traits, so that the same gene
can control more than one
trait. This phenomenon is
known as pleiotropy, and it
can result in variations from
Mendel's laws.

Modifying genes: Some traits

are controlled by multiple
genes, but their effects can be
modified by other genes called
modifying genes. These
modifying genes can result in
variations from Mendel's laws.
