Question
In a genetic cross involving corn, two pure breeding lines were used: red dwarf x green tall. The first filial generation (F1) was characterized by being light red and tall. The second filial generation (F2) displayed the following phenotypic distribution:

- 96 light red, tall
- 50 red, tall
- 45 green, tall
- 31 light red, dwarf
- 19 red, dwarf
- 15 green dwarf

**Assignment:**

Develop a genetic hypothesis explaining the inheritance patterns for each trait, including the number of genes involved, alleles, and the dominance relations between alleles. Focus on:

a. Color

b. Stature
