What does sex linked/x-linked, autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant mean? - If a disease is autosomal dominant, it means you only need to get the gene from one parent in order for you to inherit the disease. - An autosomal recessive disorder means two copies of the gene must be shown in order ...

Genotype and Phenotype Practice

The combination of genes the organism has is called genotype If the organism inherits two of the same gene, the genotype is homozygous. If it inherits two different genes, it is heterozygous. According to Mendel ...

... Enhancers can work from upstream or downstream of the promoter, from far or near, in either orientation. Promoters (or PolII transcribed genes) are not so flexible. They set the start site and direction of transcription. If you flip a promoter in the wrong orientation it would not transcribe the pro ...

Epistasis
Epistasis is a phenomenon that consists of the effect of one gene being dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes' (genetic background). Similarly, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It was originally a concept from genetics but is now used in biochemistry, population genetics, computational biology and evolutionary biology. It arises due to interactions, either between genes, or within them leading to non-additive effects. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of traits.
