Expert Solution
Step 1

Epistasis:
Epistasis is a phenomenon in which the phenotypic expression of one gene is influenced by the expression of other genes. In essence, one gene covers the phenotypic expression of another gene, which is known as an epistatic gene.
Epistasis is divided into six categories.

Dominant epistasis is a type of epistasis in which one person has
Epistasis recessive
Inhibitory dominance
Dominant duplication
Recessive duplication
Interaction of polymeric genes
