Multiple Choice
Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
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 Figure 12.3. Figure 12.3

A) 1.5 map units
B) 3 map units
C) 6 map units
