A Plantlike Organism on the Planet Pandora Can Have Three

Question 13

Multiple Choice

A plantlike organism on the planet Pandora can have three recessive genetic traits: bluish leaves,due to an allele (a) of gene A;a feathered stem,due to an allele (b) of gene B;and hollow roots,due to an allele (c) of gene C.The three genes are linked and recombine.
A geneticist did a testcross with an organism that had been found to be heterozygous for the three recessive traits and was able to identify progeny of the phenotypic distribution (+ = wild type) shown in the figure below.
