When two genetic loci produce identical phenotypes in cis and trans position, they are considered to be

1. pseudoalleles
2. different genes
3. multiple alleles
4. parts of same gene

Correct answer: pseudoalleles

Solution

Pseudoalleles are closely linked loci that can produce the same phenotype in both cis and trans arrangements, making them behave like alleles. This is why they are distinguished from true alleles and from unrelated genes.
