In garden pea, dwarf plants with terminal flowers are recessive to tall plants with axial flowers. A true-breeding tall plant with axial flowers was crossed with a true-breeding dwarf plant with terminal flowers. The resulting F₁ plants were testcrossed, and the following progeny were obtained:

Tall plants with axial flowers = 320 Dwarf plants with terminal flowers = 318 Tall plants with terminal flowers = 79 Dwarf plants with axial flowers = 83

The map distance between the genes for plant height and flower position is_____cM.

Two true-breeding snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) plants, one with red flowers and another with white flowers were crossed. The F₁ plants were all with pink flowers. When the F₁ plants were selfed, they produced three kinds of F₂ plants with red, pink and white flowers in a 1:2:1 ratio. The probability that out of the five plants picked up randomly, two would be with pink flowers, two with white flowers and one with red flowers is ____%.
