additive gene action [¦ad·ə·div ¦jēn ‚ak·shən]

(genetics)

A form of allelic interaction in which dominance is absent, resulting in a heterozygote that is intermediate in phenotype between homozygotes for the alternative alleles.

The cumulative contribution made by all loci in a group of nonallelic genes to a polygenic trait.
