Following statements are regarding to the molecular basis of the coincidence model in Arabidopsis.

A. In Arabidopsis under short days, there is little overlap between CO mRNA expression and daylight.

B. CO protein does not accumulate to sufficient levels in the phloem to promote the expression of the transmissible floral stimulus and the plant remains vegetative.

C. Under long days, the peak of CO mRNA abundance (at hours 12 through 16) overlaps with daylight (sensed by phyA and cryptochrome [cry]), allowing CO protein to accumulate.

D. CO activates FLC mRNA expression in the phloem, which causes flowering when the FT protein is translocated to the apical meristem.

Assume that three loci, each with two alleles (A and a, B and b, C and c), determine the differences in height between two homozygous strains of a plant. These genes are additive and equal in their effects on plant height. One strain (aabbcc) is 10 cm in height. The other strain (AABBCC) is 22 cm in height. The two strains are crossed, and the resulting F1 are interbred to produce 1000 F2 progeny. what is number of F2 progeny having intermediate height?

A plant height in Maize is control by 3 pair of polygene .Two varieties of maize averaging 120 and 60 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 40 inches in height. What is proportional of F2 progeny that is display phenotype either 120 cm or 60 cm height?

Plant having height 6 cm are allowed to cross with plant having height 2 cm , all F1 progeny having height uniform 4 cm were allowed selfing to produced F2 progeny in which 3 plant out of  8 having height  4 cm . what are number of polygene involve in that trait ?
