If the intermediate F1 progeny were allowed to self-pollinate, and 25% of the F2 progeny were tall, 50% were intermediate in size, and 25% were short, this would suggest
a. incomplete dominance.
b. polygenic inheritance.
c. complete dominance.
d. pleiotropy.
d. multifactorial inheritance.
If the intermediate F1 progeny were allowed to self-pollinate, and 25% of the F2 progeny were tall, 50% were?
Assuming one allele is responsible for the trait and parents are homozygous...
P: AA x aa
F1: Aa
F2:1 AA:2Aa:1aa
If complete dominance, then you would see 3:1 tall to small ratio and no intermediates. Incomplete dominance satisfies the 1:2:1 ratio observed.
Reply:Some of the branches in your family tree are long, some are short and you have a small handful of under-developed twigs.

Have a merry and a happy!
