2. Three genes with recessive mutant phenotypes are located on
the same chromosome in maize: fine strip (f), bronze aleurone (bz),
and knotted leaf (kn). A plant with all three mutant phenotypes is
crossed with a true-breeding, wild-type plant. Resulting F1 plants
are then backcrossed to the parental mutant line to produce the
following progeny:

A. How many non-recombinant progeny were
identified?
B. How many of the F2 plants contained a crossover
between the fine strip and knotted leaf genes?
C. Diagram the genotype of the P and F1 plants
used in these crosses.
D. Draw a chromosome map with the correct
distances (rounded to one decimal point) noted between adjacent
