A large ear of corn has a total of 433 grains, including 271 purple & smooth, 73 purple & shrunken, 63yellow & smooth, & 26 yellow & shrunken. Conduct a X^2 analysis to determine if this ear of corn was produced by adihybrid cross (PpRr x PpRr) resulting in a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1.
34-35 In pea plants, green pods are dominant over yellow pods. Two plants with green pods are crossed. All the offspring plants are counted and pod colors recorded. It is discovered that the F1 generation consists of 123 individuals, of which, 92 have been found to have green pods and 31 were found to have yellow pods. What is the genotype of the plants in the F1 generation with yellow pods? What are the most likely genotypes of the parent plants?

This case explores how skin color is inherited in humans, presented in the story of Catherine and Richard Howarth whose children are surprisingly light skinned compared to their Nigerian mother. Based on what you have learned about polygenic inheritance, explain how Richard and Catherine Howarth were able to produce light-skinned babies. Are the odds indeed 1 in a million? Include possible genotypes of the couple and their children to support your argument.
