What is the difference between an epistatic gene and a hypostatic gene? an epistatic gene is dominant; a hypostatic gene is rece

ssive. an epistatic gene produces only two phenotypes; a hypostatic gene produces four phenotypes. an epistatic gene masks the effects of another gene; a hypostatic gene is masked by the epistatic gene. an epistatic gene enhances the effects of another gene; a hypostatic gene reduces the effects of another gene. an epistatic gene masks the effects of another gene when the epistatic gene has one or more dominant alleles; a hypostatic gene masks the effects of another gene when the hypostatic gene has two recessive alleles?

Gene interaction is the determination of a single trait or phenotype by genes at more than one locus; the effect of one gene on a particular trait depends on the effects of a different gene located else where in the genome. One type of gene is epistasis. One of the difference between the epistatic gene and hypostatic gene is that the alleles at the epistatic gene mask or repress the effects of alleles at another gene. Hypostatic gene on the other hand is the whose alleles are masked or repressed.

In what ways are cellulose and starch similar to each other and in what ways are they different? Be specific in your comparison,
Tom [10]
By starch, I'm assuming you mean glycogen, or animal starch.
Similarities:
Both are polysaccharide molecules made from glucose molecules linked together in a long chain.
Both are storehouses of energy.

Differences:
Glycogen is made in animal cells and is the only form of starch animals can digest (unless they have certain microbes in their intestinal tracts to break down cellulose, which all herbivores need).
Cellulose is made in plant cells.

The bonds are a bit different; the molecules are isomers. Glycogen bonds with what is called an alpha 1,4 bond, meaning that the first carbon of one glucose molecule is bonded to the 4th carbon of the next glucose molecule, but in a way that puts the bonds in a shape that falls below the plane of the molecule, and allows branching.

Cellulose bonds with beta 1,4 bonds. The first and fourth carbons of adjoining glucose molecules are still connected, but the shape of the bond falls above the plane of the molecule and does not branch.

Since enzymes are specific to their substrates, the enzymes shaped to fit glycogen bonds do not fit on cellulose bonds, which is why animals cannot digest cellulose on their own. In herbivores, there are microbes in their digestive tracts which can produce enzymes to break these bonds so the glucose can be used. In carnivores and omnivores like humans, there is no enzyme to break down cellulose so it becomes 'roughage' in our diets. It passes through the digestive tract without being broken down.
