Hey Matty0132, doesn't this ultimately depend on what the parents were? If they were heterozygous, then the equation would be 100 - 9 [albino] - 9 [homozygous] = the number of heterozygous corns. That would be 82.

No, Bio_Man. That was exactly the way the question was worded. Maybe the point is to see if we know that it depends on what the parents are. I guess that is how I will answer it.
Thank you so much for all your help over the past few months, Bio_Man. You have really helped me to (hopefully, I try not to take anything for granted) get through a subject that I really just seem to have no aptitude for. I just wanted to say thank you and let you know that I apreciate what you do helping folks like myself. Person Raising Both Hands in Celebration
