Answer:
The traits of the recombinant offspring in terms of flower color and seed shape:
Red, smooth
White, wrinckled
These are recombinants because they are different with their parents. The genes are the same but they don't share the same alleles as parents.
The number of recombinants is always less than the number of parental types.
Genotype of parents: RrWw (red , wrinckled)
rrww (white , smooth)
after crossing over : Rrww
rrWw
(these two are the genotypes of recombinants)
recombination frequency = # recombinants / # total progeny
= 7+9 / 43+41+7+9 = 0.16
the genes are 16 m.u apart
