Two genes in tomatoes are 61 mu apart; normal fruit (F) is dominant to fasciated (flattened) fruit (f), and normal numbers of leaves (Lf) is dominant to leafy (lf). A true-breeding plant with normal leaves and fruit was crossed to a leafy plant with fasciated fruit. The F1 offspring were then crossed to leafy plants with fasciated fruit. If this cross produced 600 offspring, what are the expected numbers of plants in each of the four possible categories: normal leaves, normal fruit; normal leaves, fasciated fruit; leafy, normal fruit; and leafy, fasciated fruit?
