A. Increase, stay the same
B. stay the same, decrease
C. increase, decrease
D. decrease, increase

1) An individual is heterozygous for 3 genes (A/a B/b and C/c). He is crossed to an individual that is homozygous recessive for the same 3 genes (a/a b/b and c/c). The following offspring were seen. Which of the following phenotypes represent a double crossover event? (Hint - are you seeing all of the phenotypes in the next generation that you expected to see?) Select all that apply.
Phenotype | Number |

recombination frequency between B/C =
******According to the hint, we don't see two phenotypes that we are expecting which are +bc, and a++. Are those the ones that represent double crossovers, and if so, how do we calculate the recombination frequency between each gene? Would very much appreciate some help.
