Question

Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were

crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a

total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high.

e) In a cross between a 29cm plant and a 20cm plant what would be the genotypes giving the smallest number of different phenotypes? specify the phenotypes observed.
