188 GENETICS 



The numbers in the squares indicate how many 

 times a brown determiner is present in each zygote. 

 It will be seen that only one out of the sixteen possi- 

 bilities lacks a brown-chaff factor, and this one will

 maining fifteen possibilities, each of which has at least 

 a single determiner for brown, will all yield brown 

 chaff.
