You are studying cushion plants in New Zealand: the wild-type cushion plan has a wide canopy. You obtain eight cushion plants that all have narrow canopies caused by a single autosomal recessive mutation. To determine how many genes are defined by these mutations, you mate the plants together and get the results shown in the complementation table below.  The “–“ represents plants with narrow canopies and the  “+” represents wide canopies. What will the offspring of a cross between plants A and F look like?
