Question

If the genes are not assorting independently, what is the recombination
frequency between them?

In guinea pigs, white coat (w) is recessive to black coat (W) and wavy hair
(v) is recessive to straight hair (V). A breeder crosses a guinea pig that is
homozygous for white coat and wavy hair with a guinea pig that is black
with straight hair. The F, are then crossed with guinea pigs having white
coats and wavy hair in a series of testcrosses. The following progeny are
produced from these testcrosses:
black, straight
black, wavy
