Q: What is the correct ratio that shows masking gene interaction?
-
A
12:3:1
-
B
9:3:4
-
C
1:2:1
-
D
9:7
A
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Masking gene interaction, also known as dominant epistasis, occurs when the dominant allele of one gene can mask the effect of either allele of the second gene. This type of interaction can be observed in the ratio of 12:3:1, which shows that dominant allele of one gene masks the effect of recessive alleles of the second gene.
