In a mapping experiment with three linked genes, which phenotype should occur most often in the F₂ offspring? A)Parental phenotypes B)Phenotypes of individuals with single crossover events C)Phenotypes of individuals with double crossover events D)All of the phenotypes should occur equally in the F₂ generation
