More than one gene is controlling the loss train of that eye. Thus, the Cross among the scarlet and grey species, F1 crossover has fractional eyes. Despite the fact that both sort of cavern fishes are visually impaired, yet cross between them has brought about offspring with fractional eyes. This shows multi-gene legacy for eye misfortune attribute. Blending of two genotypes has brought about incomplete characteristic in the descendants.
