Respuesta :
Gene interaction is the determination of a single trait or phenotype by genes at more than one locus; the effect of one gene on a particular trait depends on the effects of a different gene located else where in the genome. One type of gene is epistasis. One of the difference between the epistatic gene and hypostatic gene is that the alleles at the epistatic gene mask or repress the effects of alleles at another gene. Hypostatic gene on the other hand is the whose alleles are masked or repressed.
Answer:
Some genes mask the expression of other genes just as a fully dominant allele masks the expression of its recessive counterpart. A gene that masks the phenotypic effect of another gene is called an epistatic gene; the gene it subordinates is the hypostatic gene.
