Question

question 5 1 pts we need a hammer to pound nails into a board. even if we have the nails, we cannot pound them without first getting hold of a hammer. this is similar to the genetic relationship known as heterozygosity. epistasis. independent assortment. codominance. question 6 1 pts

Explanation:

Epistasis is a genetic phenomenon where one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene. Just as you need a hammer to pound nails (the presence of one factor is essential for the action to occur), in epistasis the expression of one gene depends on the presence or action of another gene. Heterozygosity refers to having different alleles at a gene - locus. Independent assortment is about the random distribution of non - homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Codominance is when both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed.

Answer:

B. epistasis
