Transferrin is a blood protein that is encoded by the transferrin locus (Trf).

Question

Calculate the recombination frequency between the Trf and the d loci by using the pooled data from all the crosses.

Transferrin is a blood protein that is encoded by the transferrin locus
(Trf). In house mice, the two alleles at this locus (Trf and TrP) are
codominant and encode three types of transferrin:
Genotype
Phenotype
Trf / Trf
Trf / TrP
Trp / Trp
Trf-a
Trf-ab
Trf-b
The dilution locus, found on the same chromosome, determines whether
the color of a mouse is diluted or full; an allele for dilution (d) is
recessive to an allele for full color (d"):
Genotype

Donald Shreffler conducted a series of crosses to determine the map
distance between the transferrin locus and the dilution locus (D. C.
Shreffler. 1963. Journal of Heredity 54:127-129). The following table
presents a series of crosses carried out by Shreffler and the progeny
resulting from these crosses.
