This would be known as epistasis because one gene blocks another from expressing itself. Epistasis could also be the interaction between genes.


What is an example of Epistasis?

Epistasis is when genes interact that aren't alleles. The genes begin to suppress other genes, For example: baldness, or a widow's peak.

How many genes minimum is needed to determine a trait?

The least number is 2, however this is very rare. Most traits require many genes to produce a trait.


What is the difference between epistasis and codominance?

Well, one major difference is, homeostasis (the regulation of stable conditions in the internal environment) is a property of a system (or organism), while epistasis and pleiotropy are properties of genes. However, certain kinds of homeostasis can be controlled by genes (think of the lacoperon). There is a kind of homeostasis, genetic homeostasis, but that is a property of populations, and probably not what you had in mind. Epistasis is the interaction of two or more genes; therefore it is a property of multiple genes. This distinguishes it from pleiotropy,which is a property of a single gene, since a gene is pleiotropic if it effects multiple phenotypes.

No genes are involved. This is a viral disease carried by mosquito.


When neither of the genes are dominant or recessive the genes are said to be?

genes can be codominant for example in blood groups a person can be A,B,AB or O. neither A nor B is more or less dominant than each other but they are dominant over O. there are many other types of dominance/recessive relationships in genes. you could look up epistasis on wikipedia to get a better idea of the bigger picture.
