In mice, a dominant allele that causes a short tail is located on chromosome 2. On chromosome 3, a recessive allele causing droopy ears is 6 mu away from another recessive allele that causes a flaky tail. A recessive allele that causes a jerker (uncoordinated) phenotype is located on chromosome 4. A jerker mouse with droopy ears and a short, flaky tail was crossed to a normal mouse. All F 1 generation mice were phenotypically normal, except they had short tails. These F 1 mice were then testcrossed to jerker mice with droopy ears and long, flaky tails. If this cross produced 400 offspring, what would be the proportions of the 16 possible phenotypic categories
