The table below shows the progeny of a test cross of a heterozygote (HhFfGg). Each row shows the number of progeny that inherited each combination of alleles from the heterozygous parent. You've already determined the gene order (G is in the middle) and labeled each type of progeny. Using this information, what is the recombination frequency between H and G?

Figure 13.4 Which of the following statements is true? Recombination of the body color and red/ cinnabar eye alleles will occur more frequently than recombination of the alleles for wing length and aristae length. Recombination of the body color and aristae length alleles will occur more frequently than recombination of red/brown eye alleles and the aristae length alleles. Recombination of the gray/black body color and long/short aristae alleles will not occur. Recombination of the red/brown eye and long/short aristae alleles will occur more frequently than recombination of the alleles for wing length and body color.
Wild-type mice have brown fur and short tails. Loss of function of a particular gene produces white fur, while loss of function of another gene produces long tails, and loss of function at a third locus produces agitated behavior. Each of these loss of function alleles is recessive. If a wild-type mouse is crossed with a triple mutant, and their F1 progeny is test-crossed, the following recombination frequencies are observed among their progeny. Produce a genetic map for these loci. Brown, short tailed, normal: 955 White, short tailed, normal: 16 Brown, short tailed, agitated: 0 White, short tailed, agitated: 36 Brown, long tailed, normal: White, long tailed, normal: Brown, long tailed, agitated: 46 0 14 White, long tailed, agitated: 933

Three linked loci are evaluated to determine the recombination frequency of the loci. To set up the test cross, an individual that is true breeding dominant for all three phenotypes is crossed with an individual that is true breeding recessive for all three phenotypes. F1 offspring are crossed with individuals that are recessive for all phenotypes. The phenotypic results are shown in the table below.
