Corn kernels are individual seeds that display a wide diversity of phenotypes (see Figure 2.10 and Plate 2.10). In a total of 3816 corn seeds, the following phenotypes were observed:

 Purple, smooth 2058

 Purple, wrinkled 728

 Yellow, smooth 769

 Yellow, wrinkled 261

Are these genotype frequencies consistent with inheritance due to one locus with three alleles or two loci each with two alleles?
