A professor asks you to help perform a Mendel-type pea plant experiment. She wants to see how independent some of the traits that Mendel inspected really are. To get started, she tells you she did a test cross and shows you a greenhouse full of F1 pea plants. She asks you to continue her experiment while she has to attend a scientific meeting in Europe, and to cross the F1's to generate F2 offspring. You do this with the help of the professors graduate students and get 3044 plants (wow, you guys did a lot of work!). Mendel looked at seven pea plant traits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Mendel): seed shape, flower color, seed coat tint, pod shape, unripe pod color, flower location, and plant height. If Mendelian inheritance were true, how many plants would you roughly expect to be phenotypically recessive in seed shape, pod shape and plant height, but genetically heterozygous in the other traits? Enter an integer number (round up).
