Question

Snuffleups are small, ant-eating mammals that live deep in the jungles of Brazil. They possess a nose that varies between 3 inches long and 19 inches long. The exact length of the nose is determined by quantitative loci. If one crosses a 19-inch nosed snuffleup with one that has a 3-inch nose, one gets F1 offspring with 11-inch noses. When one crosses two F1 individuals, one gets an array of nose lengths from 3 inches to 19 inches long. However, among the F2, 3-inch noses occur only about 1 in 256 offspring and 19-inch noses occur about one in 256 offspring.
