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.

Hatshy [7]

The bulky shape of fat cells makes them ideal for filling spaces of connective tissue. The fat cells represent a type of connective tissue.

The adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue composed of fat cells known as adipocytes.

The shape of the adipocytes can be spherical, oval, polyhedral (as part of adipose connective tissue), etc.
