Suppose that both yellow flower color and shortness are recessive, with white flower color and tallness expressed

Question:

Suppose that both yellow flower color and shortness are recessive, with white flower color and tallness expressed in the dominant plants. Two parents that are heterozygous for these two traits are crossed, and 87 offspring are checked. Of these, 11 have yellow flowers and are short, 8 have yellow flowers and are tall, 13 have white flowers and are short, and 55 have white flowers and are tall.
Suppose two traits are controlled by two unlinked loci (so the phenotypes are independent), one for flower color and one for height. Check whether the above data are consistent with the expected numbers in the above scenarios.
