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.

The next step would be to follow the AED prompts.

An AED or Automated External Defibrillator refers to a lightweight, small apparatus, which evaluates an individual's heart rhythm and can determine the irregular heart rhythms, like VF (ventricular fibrillation) or VT (ventricular tachycardia), also called Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Automated external defibrillators can assist in saving many lives at the time of sudden cardiac arrest. However, even after training, memorizing the steps to use an AED in the right manner can be tough.

Replication of DNA during mitosis ​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

hope it helps you

Explanation:

This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell's cytoplasm. The outcome of binary fission is two new cells that are identical to the original cell.

Explanation: In mitosis, the cell splits apart to form two identical, same cells. That means that it has the same DNA and number of chromosomes as the previous cell. So, mitosis's main function is literally DNA replication
