D) In Drosophila (fruit flies), white eyes can be due to an X-linked gene or to a combination of other genes. 

Epistasis is the communication and the interaction of the genes. These are not within the alleles but with the genes themselves only. Also known as the genetic background, the genes are dependent on their effect to show the trait. 

Answer: c) in rabbits and many other mammals, one genotype (cc) prevents any fur color from developing

Explanation: idk i just got the answer wrong and it said that was correct lol
