Step-by-step solution
Epistasis is interaction between two or more genes to control a single phenotype. Dominant epistasis also called masking has a ratio 12: 3: 1 in the F ₂ phenotype. Supplementary genes which is recessive epistasis has ratio 9: 3: 4 . Complementary gene where both dominant alleles are needed for phenotype has ratio 9:7. Inhibitor gene where one gene inhibits the expression of another gene has ratio 13: 3 in F ₂ progeny.
