he c1 mutation in maize results in colorless kernels, while plants with at least

The c1 mutation in maize results in colorless kernels, while plants with at least one copy of the dominant C1 allele produce colored kernels.  Also, the wx mutation results in waxy kernels, while plants with at least one coy of the dominant Wx allele produce starchy kernels.

In Cross I, doubly heterozygous F1 plants (C1 c1 Wx wx) were testcrossed to plants pure-breeding for colorless, waxy kernels (c1 c1 wx wx).  The test-cross progeny are as follows:

In Cross II, a different set of doubly heterozygous F1 plants (C1 c1 Wx wx) were testcrossed to plants pure-breeding for colorless, waxy kernels (c1 c1 wx wx).  The test-cross progeny are as follows:

In experiments published in 1918 that sought to verify and expand the genetic linkage and recombination theory proposed by Morgan, Thomas Bregger studied potential genetic linkage in corn ( Zea mays) for genes controlling kernel color (colored is dominant to colorless) and starch content (starchy is dominant to waxy). Bregger performed two crosses.

Part A

           For cross I, determine whether genetic linkage or independent assortment is more strongly supported by the data.        

Part B

  For cross II, determine whether genetic linkage or independent assortment is more strongly supported by the data.

Part C.

Calculate the recombination frequency for cross I.

Enter your answer to three or more decimal places (example 0.127).

Part D

Calculate the recombination frequency for cross II.

Enter your answer to three or more decimal places (example 0.127).

Part E

           Are the results of these two experiments mutually compatible with the hypothesis of genetic linkage?
