What is the difference between supplementary gene interaction and recessive epistasis?

Option: 1

Supplementary gene interaction involves the interaction of two or more genes to produce a novel phenotype, while recessive epistasis involves the interaction of two genes to produce a novel phenotype.

 

 


Option: 2

Supplementary gene interaction requires the recessive alleles of both genes to produce the novel phenotype, while recessive epistasis requires the dominant allele of one gene to mask the expression of another gene.

 

 


Option: 3

Supplementary gene interaction and recessive epistasis are the same thing.

 

 


Option: 4

There is no difference between supplementary gene interaction and recessive epistasis.

Supplementary gene interaction and recessive epistasis are two types of gene interactions that involve the interaction of two or more genes to produce a novel phenotype. The key difference between them is the number of genes involved in the interaction, with supplementary gene interaction involving two or more genes, while recessive epistasis involves only two genes.Hence option A is the correct answer.

Option(B) The key difference between them is the number of genes involved in the interaction, with supplementary gene interaction involving two or more genes, while recessive epistasis involves only two genes. Hence option B is incorrect.

Option(C) The key difference between them is the number of genes involved in the interaction, with supplementary gene interaction involving two or more genes, while recessive epistasis involves only two genes. Hence option C is incorrect.  

Option(D) The key difference between them is the number of genes involved in the interaction, with supplementary gene interaction involving two or more genes, while recessive epistasis involves only two genes. Hence option D is incorrect.
