In primroses, the dominant allele of gene K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment. Blue pigment synthesis is inhibited by a dominant allele of gene D. In other words, plants with the genotype K- D- will not produce pigment (and their flowers will be white) because of the presence of the D allele. What type of gene interaction determines flower color in primroses?

A) one gene with two completely dominant alleles
B) two-genes with recessive epistasis
C) two redundant genes
D) two genes with dominant epistasis


D) two genes with dominant epistasis
