We are interested in determining whether leaf traits for the Totavi ash follow a common epistatic relationship. The observed phenotypes are opposite leaves and alternate leaves. Which mode of inheritance would most likely explain the data below?

Phenotype

Select one:

single recessive epistasis

duplicate genes with cumulative effect

duplicate recessive epistasis

duplicate dominant epistasis

dominant/recessive epistasis

single dominant epistasis

Solution

It is a example of dominant recessive epistasis because here according to data it shows the phenotypic ratio of almost equal to 13:3 which means tha dominant allele at one locus and recessive allele at another locus give rise to same effect.
