Solution
The correct option is A Hypostatic
In epistasis, one gene suppresses the expression of other gene. A gene that masks or suppresses the expression of another gene is called as epistatic and the gene that is suppressed or masked is called as hypostatic. In this type of interaction, the ratio is 12:3:1 as second gene will be expressed only if first gene have recessive alleles. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
