Danny but epistatic is not a kind of dominance. And this "c" is a recessive epistatic allele.



Oké, Tünde , my chosse of words is not always with the exact scientific definition but I only wanted to give a feeling.

So, Epistatic is a double mutant where one mutation masks the phenotype of another mutation. Epistasis is not the same thing as dominance. With epistasis a mutation in one gene masks the expression of a different gene. With dominance, one allele of a gene masks the expression of another allele of the same gene.

But I found this a too long explanation !!! ;-)
