Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the question.
A plantlike organism on the planet Pandora can have 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 recombine.
A geneticist performed a testcross with an organism that had been found to be heterozygous for the three recessive traits, and she was able to identify progeny of the following phenotypic distribution (+ = wild type) :
Use the following information to answer the question. A plantlike organism on the planet Pandora can have 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 recombine. A geneticist performed a testcross with an organism that had been found to be heterozygous for the three recessive traits, and she was able to identify progeny of the following phenotypic distribution (+ = wild type) :   Which of the progeny phenotypes will require recombination between genes A and B? A)  1, 2, 5, and 6 B)  1, 3, 6, and 7 C)  2, 4, 5, and 8 D)  2, 3, 5, and 7
