Question

In tomatoes, tall plant (D) is dominant over dwarf plant (d) and smooth fruit (H) is dominant over hairy fruit (h). A farmer crosses tall plant that produces smooth tomatoes (plant A) with a dwarf and hairy fruit plant (plant B) and obtains the following results:

                                                     

 

Phenotype                                           Offspring                                               

Tall & smooth fruit                                      3

Tall and hairy fruit                                     84

Dwarf and smooth fruit                             88

Dwarf & hairy fruit                                      4

 

What is the map distance between the D and H alleles?
