- Recessive epistasis is the term for when recessive alleles at one locus conceal the expression of both (dominant and recessive) alleles at a different locus.
- The term "supplementary epistasis" is another name for this kind of gene interaction.
- Pigmentation in mice, which is regulated by the two gene pairs A/a and C/c, is an example of recessive epistasis.
- When gene A/a is recessive homozygous, dominant C provides black coloring.
- Agouti is created when gene A is homozygous recessive or heterozygous with gene C/c.
- Albino/white coats are created when the homozygous recessive version of the gene C/C hides the creation of any color.
- Gene C/c is hence epistatic in a recessive homozygous state.
- This happens because a mouse with a recessive c allele at this locus is unable to produce pigment and is albino regardless of the allele present at locus A.
- Option 1 is the correct answer.
