2. The height of a wheat plant is determined by several genes. In a variety the minimum size is 12 inches and the maximum is 24 inches. 12-inch plants were crossed with 18-inch plants, and produced an 18-inch F1. The F1 was allowed to cross each other, and an F2 was obtained in which the 12 and 24 inch plants were obtained with a frequency of 2/8195. How much does each ALELO contribute to the size of the plant? Select one: a. 3 inches b. 2 inches c. 1 inch
