  1. Alleles that produce independent effects in their heterozygous condition are called
    1. codominant alleles
    2. epistatic alleles
    3. complementary alleles
    4. supplementary alleles
Correct Option: A

Epistasis is the suppression of the normal phenotypic expression of the gene by a non-allelic gene. Complimentary genes are two independent genes present on different gene loci which assist each other in expressing a trait. Supplementary genes are two independent genes present on different gene loci, each of which may produce its own trait and interact when present together in dominant state to produce a new trait.
