Fine spines (q), smooth fruit (s), and uniform fruit color (…
Fine spines (q), smooth fruit (s), and uniform fruit color (t) are three recessive traits in cucumbers, the genes of which are linked on the same chromosome. A cucumber plant heterozygous for all three traits is used in a testcross and the following progeny (recessive alleles from the tester do not show) are produced from this testcross: Q S T : 3 q s t: 2 q s T: 135 Q S t: 140 Q s T: 22 q S t: 21 q S T: 40 Q s t: 37 Total: 400 Using this data, can you determine the gene order? Which gene is in the middle?
