Which of the following statements is not consistent with Mendel’s experiments using peas? Mendel used genes that assorted independently from each other Mendel used pairs of alleles in which one allele was clearly dominant to the other Mendel used progeny testing and testcrosses to confirm genotypes Mendel used genes that showed no epistatic interactions with each other Mendel used pea strains of unknown ancestry
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.

Introduction :-
Epistasis refers to a phenomenon where the expression of one gene affects the expression of another gene. This means that the effects of the alleles at one gene can interact with the alleles at another gene, and this interaction can influence the phenotype of an organism
