Question

an interaction in which one allele hides the effect of another allele is called
select choice
select choice
nondisjunction
epistasis
sex determination
dosage compensation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Nondisjunction: Involves chromosome separation errors, not allele interaction.
• Epistasis: Defined as one allele (or gene) masking the effect of another allele (or gene), matching the description.
• Sex determination: Relates to gender development, not allele masking.
• Dosage compensation: Balances gene expression in sex chromosomes, not allele interaction.

Answer:

The correct option is "epistasis".
