Biology

ollegr [7]3 years ago

The definition of Epistasis in gene biology is Choice D: when the allele of one gene masks the phenotype of another gene

Definition:

When the phenotypic effect of alleles at one gene are masked by alleles of another gene.

In essence, a gene is said to be epistatic when its presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus.

It is important to know that Epistatic genes are often called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as hypostatic.

Additionally, there are six common types of epistasis gene interactions:

  • Dominant

  • Dominant inhibitory,

  • Duplicate dominant,

  • Duplicate recessive,

  • Polymeric gene interaction,

  • Recessive.

bottleneck effect --- > A disease wipes out almost 90% of a population of birds, but the species adapts, and after 5 years its numbers increase dramatically.


gene flow --->  A population of rats travels on a cargo ship and mate with rats in a new region.


founder effect ---> Biologists introduce a small population of lizards on an island as part of a conservation effort.



mutation ---> A change in a DNA sequence causes a lizard to develop a darker skin color, which helps it hide from predators.

Populations adapt to changing environmental conditions as a result of __________. populations adapt to changing environmental co
barxatty [35]
Natural selection is the process that result in the adaptation of an organism to environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype, or genetic constitution. It is the a key mechanism of evolution. Charles Darwin popularised the term "natural selection" contrasting it with artificial selection, which is intentional, whereas natural selection is not.
To make it simple, let's have a group of beetle composing of green and some are brown as an example. here, there is a variation in traits. Since the environment could not support continuous population growth, not all species can reproduce to their full potential. Green beetles can easily be eaten by other species like birds compared to brown beetles. The surviving brown beetles will then generate brown offsprings because their trait has a genetic basis. Since more brown beetles survive and becomes more common in the population, the process continues until all individuals will eventually be brown. so basically, if you have variation, differential reproduction, and heredity, you will have evolution by natural selection as an outcome.
