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.

Conservation strategies that set aside ecosystems for preservation: question 11 options: are the best way to preserve an area's
hoa [83]
<span>Conservation strategies that set aside ecosystems for preservation </span>are the best way to preserve an area's diversity.
The World Wildlife Fund says that the conservation strategies that focus on ecosystems for preservation have an impact on preserving and area's diversity because it is a complete, healthy ecosystem, filled with all that is part of it, that will maintain the diversity of its area - for example, if a species of a tree from a certain ecosystem was to be extinct, not only that species would disappear, reducing already by itself the diversity of the area, but it would also affect other species taking them probably also to eventual extinction, once more reducing the diversity of the area.
