A plant breeder crossed a pure bred tall plant having white flowers with a pure bred dwarf plant having blue flowers. He obtained 202 \(F_1\) progeny and found that they are all tall having blue flowers. Upon selfing these \(F_1\) plants he obtained a progeny of 2160 plants. Approximately how many of these likely to be short having blue flowers?

Given below is a karyotype of a human foetus obtained for screening to find any probable genetic disorder :
Based on the karyotype, the chromosomal disorder detected in unborn foetus and the consequent symptoms the child may suffer from are :
1. Turner's syndrome : Sterile ovaries, short stature
2. Down's syndrome : Gynecomastia, overall masculine stature
3. Turner's syndrome : Small round head, flat back of head
4. Down's syndrome : Furrowed tongue, short stature
