Calculate the frequencies of the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring that would be produced by mating organisms with various combinations of the two alleles of each gene, assuming independent assortment of the two genes.

Using the following data from a three-point testcross, determine the gene order, the distances between the genes, the coefficient of coincidence, and the interference. Be sure to indicate the types of recombinants and include the formulas you use. (6.5 marks)

What is the expected frequency of heterozygotes if the two populations were inter-breeding? What is the inbreeding coefficient (or heterozygote deficit) for these two populations? Based on these data, what can you can conclude about the connectivity of these two subpopulations? In other words, should you start down the (potentially expensive) path of in- situ conservation (cultivating seeds in the lab) and artificial pollination to increase the genetic health of these two populations?
