Vedclass · Answer

(D) An epistatic gene differs from a dominant gene in several ways:$1$. Dominance refers to the interaction between alleles of the same gene (allelic interaction),whereas epistasis refers to the interaction between alleles of different genes (non-allelic interaction).$2$. An epistatic gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene (hypostatic gene) located at a different locus.$3$. Since epistasis involves two different genes,the epistatic gene does not necessarily express itself independently in the same way a dominant allele does in a simple Mendelian trait.Therefore,all the given statements correctly describe the differences between an epistatic gene and a dominant gene.
