Question

In swine, two loci that determine coat color are B (Black/Red) and W (White/Color). At the B locus, the B allele (black) is completely dominant to b (red). At the W locus, the W allele (white) is completely dominant to w (expression of color at B locus). A boar (male) with the genotype BbWw is mated to a sow (female) with the genotype Bbww. What type of epistasis is this?

Step 1

This means that the W allele masks the expression of the B allele. Show more…
