Epitasis implies_____________________?
Correct answer: A. One pair of gene can completely mask the expression of another gene pair
- A. One pair of gene can completely mask the expression of another gene pair
- B. Many gene together control a parucular phenotype
- C. One gene pair enhances phenotype expression of another gene pair
- D. One gene pair independently controls a phenotype
Explanation
Epistasis occurs when one gene or gene pair masks the expression of another gene or gene pair. This differs from gene interaction in which several genes contribute without one completely hiding another.
