Using the information from problem 4, scientists do a furthertestcross using a heterozygote for height and nose morphology.The offspring are tall-upturned snout, 40; dwarf-upturnedsnout, 9; dwarf-downturned snout, 42; tall-downturned snout,9. Calculate the recombination frequency from these data, andthen use your answer from problem 4 to determine the correctorder of the three linked genes.

QUESTION:
Using the information from problem 4, scientists do a furthertestcross using a heterozygote for height and nose morphology.The offspring are tall-upturned snout, 40; dwarf-upturnedsnout, 9; dwarf-downturned snout, 42; tall-downturned snout,9. Calculate the recombination frequency from these data, andthen use your answer from problem 4 to determine the correctorder of the three linked genes.
ANSWER:The recombination frequency is calculated by taking the sum of the tall-upturned snout and dwarf-downturned snout off
