Intergenic Suppression
• Also known as extragenic suppression relieves the
effects of a mutation in one gene by a mutation
somewhere else within the genome.
• The second mutation is not on the same gene as
the original mutation.
• E.g a mutation which converts a codon specifying
an a.a into a termination codon results in formation
of incomplete polypeptide which are usually inactive.
A mutation in another gene can occur which codes
for a tRNA that reads a termination codon. So
another a.a gets inserted & no chain termination
occurs & enzyme got may be active.
