Waxy endosperm (T), shrunken endosperm (B), and yellow seedling (D) are encoded by three recessive genes in corn that are linked on chromosome 5. A corn plant homozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with a plant homozygous for all the dominant alleles. The resulting F1 are then crossed with a plant homozygous for the recessive alleles in a three‑point testcross. The progeny of the testcross are listed in the table in a random order. t b D 87 T B d 94 T B D 3479 t b d 3478 T b D 1515 t B d 1531 t B D 292 T b d 280 Total 10756   Place each gene in the correct order on the chromosome.

Step-by-Step Analysis
We start by identifying the parental and recombinant classes from the provided three-point testcross data. The two most frequent phenotypes are T B D (3479) and t b d (3478). These are the parental haplotypes, indicating that in the F1, the chromosomes carrying T-B-D and t-b-d are paired. Therefore, the gene order must place T and D on the same ends with B in the middle to explain the observed recombination patterns. Next, examine the classes that arise from single crossovers and double crossovers to determine which gene sits in the middle. For a......Login to view full explanation
