In the garden pea, several different genes affect pod characteristics. A gene affecting pod color (green is dominant to yellow) is approximately 7 mu away from a gene affecting pod width (wide is dominant to narrow). Both genes are located on chromosome 5. A third gene, located on chromosome 4, affects pod length (long is dominant to short). A true-breeding wild-type plant (green, wide, long pods) was crossed to a plant with yellow, narrow, short pods. The F 1 offspring were then testcrossed to plants with yellow, narrow, short pods. If the testcross produced 800 offspring, what are the expected numbers of the eight possible phenotypic combinations
