Answer:

The disease is caused mainly because of the attack on the myelin sheath by own immune system.

Explanation:

The MS or multiple sclerosis refers to a possibly disabling disorder of central nervous system. In the condition, immune system fights against and destroys the myelin, that is, the protective sheath, which envelopes the nerve fibers. This causes problems of communications between the brain and the entire part of the body. Ultimately, the disease can result in deterioration or permanent destruction of the nerves.

coat color in mice involves the interaction of multiple genes if a mouse has two recessive alleles for coat colorit is always al
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Epistasis

Explanation:

In epistasis, the interaction between genes is inimical, such that one gene masks or interferes with the expression of another. “Epistasis” is a word coined of Greek roots that mean “standing upon.” The alleles that are being masked or silenced are said to be hypostatic to the epistatic alleles that are doing the masking. The cause of the biochemical basis of epistasis is a genetic pathway in which the expression of one gene is dependent on the function of a gene that precedes or follows it in the pathway.

The example of epistasis given is the pigmentation of mice. we were told that "if a mouse has two recessive alleles for coat color,  it is always albino no matter what the genotype of other genes involved in coat color"

Let say recessive allele (rr), it is always albino irrespective of other type of other genes, this is true in the stance that epistasis can be reciprocal such that either gene, when present in the dominant (or recessive) form, expresses the same genotype.
