Question

1) The recessive sh produces shrunken endosperm in corn kernels and its dominant allele sh+produces plump kernels. The recessive gene c produces colorless endosperm and its dominant allele c+ produces colored endosperm. A testcross involving heterozygous plants having endosperm that is plump and colored produced the following offspring: 149 shrunken, colored; 4035 shrunken, colorless; 152 plump, colorless; 4032 plump, colored.

a. Determine the recombination frequency between the sh and c alleles. Express your frequency in map units
