Question: In tomatoes, tall vine (D) is dominant over dwarf (d), and spherical fruit shape (P) is dominant over pear shape (p). The genes for vine

In tomatoes, tall vine (D) is dominant over dwarf (d), and spherical fruit shape (P) is dominant over pear shape (p). The genes for vine height and fruit shape are linked with 20 percent recombination between them. One tall plant (I) with spherical fruit was crossed with a dwarf, pear-fruited plant. The cross produced the following results: tall, spherical 81; dwarf, pear 79; tall, pear 22; dwarf spherical 17. Another tall plant with spherical fruit (II) was crossed with the dwarf, pear-fruited plant, and the following results were obtained: tall, pear 21; dwarf, spherical 18; tall, spherical 5; dwarf, pear 4. Diagram these two crosses, showing the genetic markers on the chromosomes. If the two tall plants with spherical fruit were crossed with each other, that is, I × II, what phenotypic classes would you expect from the cross, and in what proportions?
