Gene which suppresses other gene's activity but does not lie on the same locus is called as

A

epistatic

B

supplementary

C

hypostatic

D

codominant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The phenomenonby which a gene suppresses the phenotypic expression of a nonllelic gene is called epistasis. The ratio for epistatic gene is 12 : 3 : 1 In `F_(2)` generation. The alleles which do not show dominant recessive relationship and are able to express themselves independently when present together are called codominant alleles . Supplementary genes are a pair of nonalletic genes, one of which produces its effect independently in the dominant state while the dominant allele of the second gene is without any independent effect but is able to modify the effect of the former to produce a new trait .
