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.
