Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Epistasis is type of gene interaction in which one gene suppresses the expression of another gene located in the different locus by masking its phenotype. Hence, the epistatic quality alludes to the gene that interferes with the second gene phenotype or masks it.
  • The hypostatic gene is the gene or locus whose expression is suppressed or masked by the epistatic gene.
