1.) Answer questions for part 1 a.) Define epistasis and explain how the C gene can mask the P gene in sweet peas. b.) Define polygenic and continuous variation. Describe how skin color in humans is an example of both of these terms. c.) Define linkage and explain why linked genes tend to be inherited in parental rather than recombinant combinations. (This connects back to Meiosis). Do linked genes follow the Law of Independent Assortment? d.) Explain why recombinant phenotypes arise even when genes are linked. (This connects back to Meiosis). e.) Define epigenetic inheritance and dosage compensation. List two examples of epigenetic inheritance.
