What is duplicate recessive epistasis?

In: Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

When a recessive at either locus masks the affects of the dominant phenotype at the other locus.

So AA will stop the expression of B, and bb will stop the expression of A.

This means that A-;bb, AA;B- and AA;bb will all have the same phenotype.
