(Problem 35a) E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescent-white seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings (E. W. Lindstrom. 1921. Genetics 6:91–110). Give the genotypes for the green, virescent-white, and yellow progeny. Use A and a and B and b to denote dominant and recessive alleles for the genes involved.

Please explain why, thanks in advance.

A. green - A_B_ and A_bb, virescent-white - aaB_, yellow - aabb

B. green – AAB_, virescent-white – aaBB, yellow - aabb

C. green - AbBb, virescent-white – aaBB, yellow - aabb

D. green - AABB, virescent-white – AaBb, yellow - aabb E. green - A_B_ and A_bb, virescent-white – aaBB, yellow - aaBb
