B

Examine $DNA$ and see if the population shows any variation

C

Measure the variations and see if they are continuous or discontinuous

D

In pea plants, red flowers $(R)$ are dominant over to white flowers $(r)$ and tall plants $(T)$ are dominant over to dwarf plants $(t)$. The table below shows the gametes and the possible offsprings produced in a dihybrid cross. The numbers $1$ to $16$ represent the genotypes of each individual cross $(e.g. 3 = RrTT)$
