The correct Answer is:
To determine which organism exhibits dominant epistasis, we first need to understand the concept of dominant epistasis and the characteristics of the organisms listed in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dominant Epistasis**: - Dominant epistasis occurs when the presence of a dominant allele at one gene locus masks the expression of alleles at another locus. This phenomenon is typically observed in polygenic traits, where multiple genes contribute to a single phenotype. 2. **Identifying Polygenic Traits**: - Polygenic traits are those controlled by more than one gene (usually three or more). Examples include skin color and height in humans. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Atirinum Magus**: This organism is associated with a single gene trait and does not exhibit polygenic inheritance. Therefore, it does not show dominant epistasis. - **Lathyrus odoratus**: This organism is known for dihybrid crosses, which involve two genes. Since it does not involve more than two genes, it does not exhibit dominant epistasis. - **Mirabilis jalapa**: Similar to Lathyrus odoratus, this flower also demonstrates a dihybrid cross and does not show dominant epistasis. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since none of the provided options exhibit the characteristics of dominant epistasis (which requires polygenic traits), the correct answer is "none of the above." ### Final Answer: None of the above options show dominant epistasis.
