Question

What is the order of genes on the chromosome?
22. In the tubular flowers of foxgloves, wild-type
coloration is red while a mutation called white
produces white flowers. Another mutation, called
peloria, causes the flowers at the apex of the stem
to be huge. Yet another mutation, called dwarf,
affects stem length. You cross a white-flowered
plant (otherwise phenotypically wild type) to a
plant that is dwarf and peloria but has wild-type
red flower color. All of the F1 plants are tall with
white, normal-sized flowers. You cross an F1 plant
back to the dwarf and peloria parent, and you see
the 543 progeny shown in the chart. (Only mutant
traits are noted.)

a. Which alleles are dominant?
b. What were the genotypes of the parents in the original cross?
c. Draw a map showing the linkage relationships of
these three loci.
d. Do the data provide evidence for interference? If
so, calculate the coefficient of coincidence and the
interference value.
