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
-The greatest distance among the three genes is between a and c. What does this mean?
A) Gene c is between a and b.
B) Genes are in the order: a-b-c.
C) Gene a is not recombining with c.
D) Gene a is between b and c.
E) Distance a-b is equal to distance a-c.
