<P> Pleiotropy ( from Greek πλείων pleion , `` more '' , and τρόπος tropos , `` way '' ) occurs when one gene influences two or more seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits . Therefore , a mutation in a pleiotropic gene may have an effect on several traits simultaneously due to the gene coding for a product used by a myriad of cells or different targets that have the same signaling function . </P>
