Suppose that the short allele is a meiotic drive gene, and 80% of the gametes from a heterozygous individual with tall and short alleles contain short alleles. If tall is dominant to short, what percent of individuals from a cross between a heterozygous tall individual and a homozygous recessive individual will be tall?
