4.1 Two types of corn (golden and green-striped) carry recessive genes.

When these were crossed, a first generation was obtained, which was consistently normal (neither golden nor green-striped). When this generation was allowed to self-fertilize, four distinct types of plants were produced: normal, golden, green-striped, and golden-green-striped. In 1200 plants, this process produced the following distribution:

Normal: 670 Golden: 230 Green-striped: 238 Golden-green-striped: 62 A monk named Mendel wrote an article theorizing that in a second generation of such hybrids, the distribution of plant types should be in a 9:3:3:1 ratio. Are the above data consistent with the goodmonk’s theory?
