Assume that a cross is made between tall and dwarf tobacco plants.The F₁generation showed intermediate height,while the F₂generation showed a distribution of height ranging from tall to dwarf,like the original parents,and many heights between the extremes.These data are consistent with which one of the following modes of inheritance? A)multiple- factor inheritance B)codominance C)alternation of generations D)incomplete dominance E)hemizygosity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distribution of heights in the F2 generation suggests that multiple genes (polygenic inheritance) are involved, which is consistent with multiple-factor inheritance.
