Two varieties of maize averaging 50 and 20 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 35 inches in height. Out Of the 16 F2 plants, the 5 are 35 inches. What is the probable number of independent segregating polygenes involved in this trait?

You and your lab partner have isolated 20 new mutant yeast strains that are defective in synthesis of threonine, an amino acid. These Thr- mutants do not grow on minimal medium, but they do grow on minimal medium supplemented with threonine. Ten of your Thr- mutants (numbered 1 through 10) were isolated in a strain of mating type a (MAT a). The other 10 Thrmutants (numbered 11 through 20) were isolated in a strain of mating type α (MAT α). You and your lab partner cross each of the MAT a strains to each of the MAT α strains, and you include crosses to the appropriate wild-type strains. Your experimental observations are shown in the table below, where (-) indicates diploids that did not grow on minimal medium and (+) indicates diploids that did grow on minimal medium
Based on these experiments, what is the minimum number of genes required for threonine synthesis?
