Which of the following is a source of genetic variation in a population caused by epistatic interactions between genes?
A)Additive genetic variance
B)Dominance variance
C)General environmental effects
D)Interaction variance
E)Maternal effect

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epistasis refers to the interaction between two or more genes that affect a trait. This interaction can lead to a type of genetic variation known as interaction variance. Additive genetic variance (A), dominance variance (B), general environmental effects (C), and maternal effect (E) are all sources of genetic variation, but they are not specifically caused by epistatic interactions between genes.
