In a genetic cross between plants bearing violet flowers and green seeds (VVGG), and white flowers and yellow seeds (vvgg), the following phenotypic distribution was obtained in the F$_2$ progeny (assume both parents to be pure breeding for both traits, and self-cross at F$_1$ generation):
i) 2340 plants with violet flowers and green seeds
ii) 47 plants with violet flowers and yellow seeds
iii) 43 plants with white flowers and green seeds
iv) 770 plants with white flowers and yellow seeds
Which one of the following interpretations explains the above phenotypic distribution?
