Question 61

(Multiple Choice)

Use the following information to answer the questions below.
A plant-like organism on the planet Pandora has 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,when a geneticist did a testcross with an organism that had been found to be heterozygous for the three recessive traits,she was able to identify progeny with the following phenotypic distribution (+ = wild type):
