As mentioned about the true definition of dominant or recessive traits has nothing to do with good or bad alleles, just how many copies are needed to display the phenotype. Frequently when we talk of dominant traits, we automatically think of completely dominant traits where an animal with two copies of the dominant allele is phenotypically the same as an animal with just one copy of the dominant allele.
This is the case with black coat color or the polled trait in cattle. However, many traits have varying degrees of dominance where the recessive allele is not completely masked by the presence of the dominant allele.
Here we provide definitions of the varying degrees of dominance complete, partial, no dominance, overdominance and a figure to illustrate each form. Complete dominance: The dominant allele completely masks the recessive alleles resulting in a heterozygote that is phenotypically the same as the dominant homozygotes.
Partial dominance: One allele is not completely dominant over the other allele. With partial dominance, the heterozygote has a phenotype between the two homozygotes but more similar to the homozygote dominant animals. No dominance: The heterozygote exhibits a phenotype that is exactly in between the homozygotes. Overdominance: The heterozygote exhibits a phenotype that is beyond the range of either of the homozygotes but is more similar to the dominant homozygotes.

Aa Aa Aa. Rather, epistasis occurs in all of the following scenarios: Whenever two or more loci interact to create new phenotypes Whenever an allele at one locus masks the effects of alleles at one or more other loci Whenever an allele at one locus modifies the effects of alleles at one or more other loci Epistasis is an interaction at the phenotypic level of organization.

When both dominant and recessive alleles of a particular locus are masked by a recessive allele at another locus , the recessive epistasis occurs. When a particular gene serves as a suppressor of another gene, the dominant inhibitory epistasis occurs.
In duplicate epistasis, either a dominant or recessive allele masks the expression of recessive alleles or dominant alleles respectively at two separate loci. In polymeric gene interactions, two separate, dominant alleles in combination produce a third or median phenotype.
Dominance: Dominance refers to a phenomenon of genetics whereby, in an individual containing two allelic forms of a particular gene, one is expressed to the exclusion of the others. Epistasis: Epistasis refers to a phenomenon where the expression of one gene affects the inheritance of one or more independently inherited genes.
Dominance: Dominance is a type of interaction between alleles of different genes. Epistasis: Epistasis is a type of interaction between alleles of the same gene. Dominance: Complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and co-dominance are the three types of dominance. Epistasis: Dominant epistasis, dominant inhibitory epistasis, duplicate dominant epistasis, duplicate recessive epistasis, polymeric gene interaction, and recessive epistasis are the six types of epistasis.
Dominance: Mendelian inheritance of the flower color of the pea plant is an example of dominance. Epistasis: The coat color of the young Labrador retrievers is an example of epistasis. Dominance and epistasis are two types of inter-genic interactions involved in the determination of the phenotype. Dominance is the phenomenon in which the alleles of the same locus interact with each other to produce a phenotype.
Epistasis is a type of interaction that occurs between alleles of the different loci. This is the main difference between dominance and epistasis.
