A tall pea plant with terminal flowers (flowers on the ends of the stems) is crossed with a short plant that has axial flowers. All 72 offspring are tall with axial flowers. This is a dihybrid cross with the height and flower position traits showing independent assortment. a. Name the dominant and recessive alleles.  b. Give the genotypes of the parents and offspring in this cross. c. Predict the F2 offspring when the tall-axial F1's are allowed to self pollinate.
