QUESTION
Inter allelic interaction is known as?
OPTIONS
(A) Dominance
(B) Over dominance
(C) Epistasis
(D) Recessive
ANSWER
(C) Epistasis
EXPLANATION
Epistasis is the interaction between alleles at different loci, in which the genotype at one locus affects or masks expression at another locus. Dominance and overdominance describe interactions between alleles at the same locus, while 'recessive' describes an allele's expression pattern rather than inter-locus interaction.
