### Genetic Phenotype Frequency Table

This table presents data on various genetic phenotypes observed in an organism, along with the number of occurrences for each phenotype. Additionally, the table is designed to include information on the genotype of each phenotype, written in the linkage phase format, as well as its classification (P, SCO I, SCO II, or DCO). However, the genotype and classification columns are not yet filled in.

### Explanation:

- **Phenotype**: Describes the observable characteristics of the organism.
- **Number**: Indicates the count of individuals displaying each phenotype.
- **Genotype (Written in linkage phase format) (xyz/xyz)**: This column is intended to specify the genetic makeup of the phenotype in linkage phase format (to be filled).
- **P, SCO I, SCO II, or DCO?**: This column is intended to classify the phenotypes. P stands for Parental type, SCO I for single crossover in region I, SCO II for single crossover in region II, and DCO for double crossover (to be filled).

This data can be used to analyze genetic linkage and crossover frequencies in genetic studies.
