Question
Epistasis is an example of inter-genic gene interactions.
- True
- False
Hint:
Intergenic refers to interactions between different genes.
The correct answer is 'True'.
- Epistasis is an example of intergenic interaction.
- Intergenic interaction refers to the interaction between the alleles of different genes and not between the alleles of the same gene.
- Epistasis refers to the condition where the expression of one gene is controlled by one or more genes.
- The color of animal fur is an example of epistasis, which is controlled by two different genes B and E. B gene produces fur color while E gene controls the expression of B gene.

Which of the following is NOT an example of intra-genic gene interactions?
- Example of epistasis is fur color. The fur color of an animal depends on two genes (E and B). B gene is responsible for color while E gene determines the level of expression of the B gene.
