A. Consider this cross before answering the following questions: A pea plant heterozygous for the first trait and recessive for the second trait is crossed with a pea plant heterozygous for the first trait and homozygous-dominant for the second trait.  1. If the first gene is demonstrating dominant epistasis to the second gene, what is the probability that the F1 progeny will express a. the dominant feature for the second trait? b. the recessive feature for the second trait? c. Neither dominant nor recessive features for the second trait?
