Answer:
C.) 26 - 13
Explanation:
During mitosis, DNA is replicated during the S phase so that when the cell divides the daughter cells will have the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell had.
DNA replication also occurs during meiosis, but the cell divides twice, so the daughter cells will have half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell had. This is because the daughter cells are sex cells, which combine with another sex cell (either an egg or a sperm) to form one cell with a combined chromosome number.

Answer:
Epistasis
Explanation:
In epistasis, the interaction between genes is inimical, such that one gene masks or interferes with the expression of another. “Epistasis” is a word coined of Greek roots that mean “standing upon.” The alleles that are being masked or silenced are said to be hypostatic to the epistatic alleles that are doing the masking. The cause of the biochemical basis of epistasis is a genetic pathway in which the expression of one gene is dependent on the function of a gene that precedes or follows it in the pathway.
The example of epistasis given is the pigmentation of mice. we were told that "if a mouse has two recessive alleles for coat color, it is always albino no matter what the genotype of other genes involved in coat color"
Let say recessive allele (rr), it is always albino irrespective of other type of other genes, this is true in the stance that epistasis can be reciprocal such that either gene, when present in the dominant (or recessive) form, expresses the same genotype.
