Answer:

Epistasis is a phenomenon in Genetics in which mutations on one gene locus are dependent on the mutations on some other genes locus. In other words, the expression of a phenotype of one gene is dependent on the presence or absence of mutations on other gene.

Dominance is phenomenon in genes in which a particular genotype masks the expression of alternative genotype and expresses itself due to complete takeover over other.

Hair texture in humans is an example of incomplete dominance. If a man with curly hair has children with a woman with straight h
Damm [24]

Answer:

100% Wavy hair

Explanation:

The gene involved here codes for hair texture in humans. The alleles of the gene (straight, S and curly, s) exhibits incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is a genetic scenario whereby one allele does not completely mask the expression of the other allele, instead an intermediate phenotype that is heterozygous is formed.

In this case, a man with curly hair (ss) marries a woman with straight hair (SS). The children from this cross will all possess a heterozygous genotype (Ss) and be phenotypically wavy-haired, since Incomplete dominance is exhibited by the gene. Therefore, 100% of the offsprings/children will have wavy hair phenotype.
