Genes which are located only in the X-chromosome are known as

  • epistasis genes

  • holandric genes

  • operator genes

  • antiepistasis genes


A.

epistasis genes

According to Barr body concept (applicable only for X-chromosomes) genes present on the Barr body (inactive X-chromosome) are at times hypostatic due to presence of epistatic genes on the active X-chromosome. Thus, epistasis gene is the most appropriate option. Genes which are located on X-chromosome only are called hologynic genes and those found on Y-chromosome only are called holandric genes.

Epistatis is the phenomenon where the effect of one gene is dependent on the presence of one or modifier genes. Operator gene in Lac operon, is a segment to which a repressor binds.
