(i)
Assuming that the three genes assorting independently, how many genotypic classes
would result in the offspring, and in what proportion?
If the three genes are so tightly linked on the same chromosome that no crossover
occurs between them, how many genotypic classes would result in the offspring, and
in what proportion?
(ii)
(iii)
What can you conclude from the actual data about the location of the three genes in
relation to another?
