(viii) What is the frequency of gray, pudgy, friendly testcross progeny?

In dolphins, gray (G) is dominant to black (g), Sleek (S) is dominant to pudgy (s) and friendly (F) is dominant to mean (f). All loci are autosomal. Pure-breeding black, sleek, mean dolphins were mated to pure- breeding gray. pudgy. friendly dolphins. The F1 were testcrossed. Based on the map below and a coefficient of coincidence of 0.7, determine the frequency of each phenotype in the testcross progeny Round each answer to 5 decimal digits Body Type Disposition Color 17cM 2cM
