Question: 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

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 F1 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?
