Phenotype determination:

    a =  factor A is dominant over a, factor B is dominant over b, and there is no gene interaction

    b =  factor A is epistatic of Bb and bb

    c =  factor A is equidirectional substituted by B, and factor B is equidirectional substituted by A

    d =  the dominant alleles A and B show additive interaction in the same direction, i.e. AABb = AaBB,  AaBb = AAbb etc

    e =  factor A can only be phenotypically expressed when A and B are present due to complementary gene action
