Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant  F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the  F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants  of 11 cm high.So What would be the size and genotype of the F1 from a  cross between a true-breeding 11 cm plant and a true-breeding 47 cm plant?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
