... Genes on the sex-chromosomes (the X and Y chromosomes in many species) are sex-linked genes. In mammals, including humans, and some other animals, XX individuals are female and XY individuals are male. Because males have only one copy of each sex chromosome, all of the genes on each chromosome will ...

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.
