single dominant epistatits

Explanation:

When a dominant allele at one locus can mask the expression of both alleles (dominant and recessive) at another locus, it is known as dominant epistasis. In other words, the expression of one dominant or recessive allele is masked by another dominant gene. This is also referred to as simple epistasis
