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.
Explanation:
Honey bees are social insects because they live together in large, well-organized family groups. A single honeybee cannot grow or survive by itself. The three distinct kinds of honeybees in a colony are queen, worker, and drone.These all bees work together for their survival.
Tubes for Transporting Food-carrying tubes Phloem Water-carrying tubes Xylem Sugar is produced In the leaves. The food-carrying tubes transport this sugar from the leaves to the other parts of the plant. The root hairs found on the roots Take in water and mineral salts from the soil.
Annual range is the difference of the mean temperature between the hottest and the coldest month.
