Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 16 cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 13 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 16 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter?(show work) What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?(show work)

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.
