Card 12 / 19:
Explain epistatis in terms of its Greek-language roots “standing upon.”
Epistasis describes an antagonistic interaction between genes wherein one gene masks or interferes with the expression of another. The gene that is interfering is referred to as epistatic, as if it is “standing upon” the other (hypostatic) gene to block its expression.
