Assume that a cross is made between tall and dwarf tobacco plants.The F₁ generation showed intermediate height,whereas the F₂ generation showed a distribution of height ranging from tall to dwarf,like the original parents,and many heights between the extremes.These data are consistent with which one of the following modes of inheritance? A)multiple-factor inheritance B)alternation of generations C)codominance D)incomplete dominance E)hemizygosity

Question
