Use the following to answer questions The height of a type of bean plant is determined by five unlinked genes called A, B, C, D, and E. Each gene has two alleles: additive (uppercase letter) and nonadditive (lowercase letter). The shortest plants are 130 cm. The tallest plants are 220 cm. The genotypes are known for two bean plants. Plant 1 is genotype AABbccDdEE. Plant 2 is genotype aaBBCcDdEE. -Estimate how many centimeters each allele contributes to the height difference of 90 cm.

Flower diameter in sunflowers is a quantitative trait. A plant with 6-cm flowers, from a highly inbred strain, is crossed to a plant with 30-cm flowers, also from a highly inbred strain. The F1 have 18-cm flowers. F1 × F1 crosses yield F2 plants with flowers ranging from 6 to 30 cm in diameter, in approximately 4-cm intervals (6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30). An 18-cm F1 plant is crossed to a 6-cm plant. What is the probability of an offspring with one additive allele, if all genes that influence this trait are unlinked?
