Epistasis
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Epistasis occurs when one gene masks or alters a second gene's phenotype, producing an F2 ratio departing from the standard 9:3:3:1.
Show
In mouse coat color, a pigment gene's recessive homozygous genotype blocks all pigment, masking a separate coat-pattern gene — an albino mouse's pattern genotype stays invisible.
Watch for
Epistasis is an interaction between two genes' products, not a single gene's dominant-recessive pair.
