The correct option is B Epistatic genes
A. Complementary
genes – Two genes present on separate loci that interact together to produce
dominant phenotypic character; neither of them if present alone can express
itself are called complementary genes. Due to these genes in the F2
generation, 9:7 ratio of progeny are obtained. It is a modified Mendel dihybrid
ratio.
B.Epistatic
gene - A gene which masks the action of another gene is termed as epistatic gene
and process is called epistasis. Due to these genes in the F2 generation,
either 9:3:4 or 12.3.1 ratio of progeny
are obtained. It is a modified Mendel dihybrid ratio.
C.Multigenic
inheritance - Inheritance of a character due to the presence of more than one
genes is called Quantitative inheritance or polygenic inheritance. In this,
dominant alleles have cumulative effect. Genes involved in this are called
Polygenes. In this type, in the F2 generation 1:4:8:4:1 dihybrid
ratio is obtained instead of Mendel dihybrid ratio.
D.Incomplete
dominance: Expression of new phenotype in the progeny other than parental phenotypes
is called Incomplete dominance.
So,
the correct option is ‘Epistatic genes’.
