Detailed explanation-1: -Autosomal recessive inheritance This means a child has to get 2 copies of the gene that causes albinism (1 from each parent) to have the condition. If both parents carry the gene, there’s a 1 in 4 chance that their child will have albinism and a 1 in 2 chance that their child will be a carrier.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rather, epistasis occurs in all of the following scenarios: Whenever two or more loci interact to create new phenotypes. Whenever an allele at one locus masks the effects of alleles at one or more other loci.
Detailed explanation-3: -The different types of genotypes are-homozygous recessive (pp), homozygous dominant (PP), and heterozygous (Pp). The homozygous dominant and the heterozygous genotypes show the same phenotypes.
Detailed explanation-4: -The trait that is present in gene level but masked and does not show itself in an organism is called a recessive trait.
