QUESTION:

Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (B) versus white(b) petals and the other controlling round (R) versus oval (r)stamens, are linked and are 10 map units apart. You cross ahomozygous blue-oval plant with a homozygous white-roundplant. The resulting F1 progeny are crossed with homozygous white-oval plants, and 1,000 F2 progeny are obtained. Howmany F2 plants of each of the four phenotypes do you expect?
