In tomato plants, tall vine (D) is dominant over dwarf vine (d) and round fruit (O) is dominant over oval-shaped fruit (0). Two tall, round-fruit shape plants (plants 1 and 2) are crossed with dwarf, oval-shape fruit plants. The results are as follows: PLANT 1 PLANT 2 Tall, round x dwarf, oval-shape Phenotypic classes Tall, round Dwarf, oval Tall, oval Dwarf, round Total Tall, round x dwarf, oval-shape Phenotypic classes Tall, round Dwarf, oval Tall, oval Dwarf, round Total Numbers 87 88 37 38 Numbers 40 35 85 90 250 250 a. Why is there a difference in the proportionate number of plants in each phenotypic class of the offspring resulting from test crosses of plants 1 and 2? b. Calculate the recombination frequency between the genes D/d and O/o in tomatoes.
