Question

what can an epistatic gene of one locus do to the effect of a gene of a different locus? it can mask the genes effect. it can mutate the genes effect. it elevate the genes effect. it can enhance the genes effect.

Explanation:

Epistasis in genetics refers to the interaction between genes where one gene (epistatic gene) can mask the phenotypic expression of another gene at a different locus. Mutation, elevation, or enhancement are not the primary effects of an epistatic gene on another gene's effect. So the correct option is the one stating it can mask the gene's effect.

Answer:

It can mask the gene's effect.
