Plant height of wild Solanum nigrum is controlled by polygene. A pure line plant with 60 cm height was cross to pure line plant having 20 cm height .All F1 plant having uniform height 40 cm. F1 plant was allowed to self-fertilization to produced 4/64 proportional of F2 plant having height 20 cm . What is number of polygene governing plant height?

Embryonic induction, the influence of one group of cells on another group of cells, plays a critical role in embryonic development. In 1924, Hans Spemann and Hilde Mangold transplanted a piece of tissue that influences the formation of the notochord and neural tube, from the dorsal lip of an amphibian embryo to the ventral side of another amphibian embryo. If embryonic induction occurred, which of the following observations justifies the claim of embryonic induction?
