Recessive Epistasis

When one gene is homozygous recessive, it hides the phenotype of the other gene.

( aa epistatic to B and b )

Dominant Epistasis

When one gene is dominant, it hides the phenotype of the other gene.

( A epistatic to B and b )

Dominant and Recessive Epistasis

When either gene is dominant, it hides the effects of the other gene.

( A epistatic to B and b, bb epistatic to A and a, A and bb produce identical phenotypes)

Duplicate Recessive Epistasis

When either gene is homozygous recessive, it hides the effect of the other gene.

( aa epistatic to Bb, bb epistatic to A and a )

Duplicate Dominant Epistasis

When either gene is dominant, it hides the effects of the other gene.

( A epistatic to B and b, B eptistatic to A and a )

Duplicate Interaction

When either gene is dominant, it hides the effects of the other gene.

( A and B interact)
