When the expression of one gene alters the expresion of another independently inherited gene.Group of answer choicespleiotropymultifactorialepistasispolygeniccodominanceincomplete dominanceNext
Solution
The phenomenon you're describing is known as epistasis. This occurs when the expression of one gene is influenced by one or more other genes (known as modifier genes). In this case, the independently inherited gene can alter the expression of the original gene.
