A 3-inch plant was crossed with a 15-inch plant, and all F1 plants were 9 inches. The F2 plants exhibited a “normal distribution,” with heights of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 inches. (a) What ratio will constitute the “normal distribution” in the F2? (b) What will be the outcome if the F1 plants are testcrossed with plants that are homozygous for all nonadditive alleles?
