Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts. These reactions occur particularly when the water is slightly acidic.
Dominance involves one allele masking another at the same locus whereas epistasis involves one locus masking a different locus.
Explanation:
Epistasis is a type of gene interaction in which one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene at a distinct locus.
Dominance refers to the gene interaction in which one allele of a given gene masks the expression of another alllele of same gene.
The comparison of dominance and epistasis give the following information:
- Dominance involves allelic suppression while epistasis involves non-allelic suppression.
- Dominance involves a single pair of alleles while epistasis involves two pairs of allele.
- In dominance, the expression of recessive allele is suppressed while in epistasis, either recessive or dominant non allele is suppressed.
- The effect of dominance is due to the dominant allele while epistasis may be due to dominant or recessive allele.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Metabolic syndrome as the name implies is a cluster of metabolic related risk factors that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, although metabolic syndrome can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, it can also increase the risk of type -2 diabetes mellitus.
