https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive%20genetic%20effects
Additive genetic effects occur when two or more genes source a single contribution to the final phenotype, or when alleles of a single gene (in heterozygotes) combine so that their combined effects equal the sum of their individual effects. Non-additive genetic effects involve dominance (of alleles at a single locus) o...
