Question

High-throughput tools used to analyze this phenomenon include one developed by Maya Schudiner called E-MAP (“EE-map”), which employs the use of a “miniarray profile.” This phenomenon can be predicted using order-of-function mapping. Increased prevalence of this phenomenon often results in increased fitness landscape ruggedness. One form of this phenomenon was first discovered through William Bateson (“BAIT-sun”) and Reginald Punnett’s (-5[1])research on (*) sweet pea flowers. (-5[1])This phenomenon, which has a dominant suppression form, can be illustrated in F2 dihybrid crosses resulting in phenotypic ratios deviating from a 9-to-3-to-3-to-1 ratio. (-5[1])The phenotypic effects of one gene are affected by another (-5[1])gene in, for 10 points, what genetic phenomenon exemplified by variation in Labrador retriever and mice coat color? ■END■ (0[3])

ANSWER: epistasis [or epistatic gene interactions; accept epistatic miniarray profiles; prompt on gene-to-gene interactions; reject “pleiotropy”]
