Solution
The correct option is A Morgan
The masking of the phenotypic effect of
alleles at one gene by alleles of another gene. A gene is said to be epistatic when its
presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus. Epistatic genes are sometimes
called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as
hypostatic. This was first studied by Morgan.
So,
the correct option is ‘Morgan’.
