Question: Three point test cross: You cross two true - breeding strains of pigs that differ with regard to three alleles. One variety has long tail

Three point test cross:
You cross two true-breeding strains of pigs that differ with regard to three alleles.
One variety has long tail (t+t+), long legs (l+l+) and long ears (e+e+). The other variety has short tail (tt), short legs (ll) and short ears (ee).
(t+, l+, e+alleles represent the alleles with dominant phenotype andt, l, erepresents the alleles with recessive phenotype in each pair)
You obtain F1 heterozygotes (from the above cross) that you test cross with a pig that is homozygous recessive for all three alleles. Recombination occurs in the heterozygous parent during meiosis. The following progeny (both males and females) were obtained from test cross in the following numbers.
Long tail, long legs, long ears248
Long tail, long legs, short ears35
Long tail, short legs, long ears1
Long tail, short legs, short ears20
Short tail, long legs, longs ears18
Short tail, long legs, short ears2
Short tail, short legs, long ears33
Short tail, short legs, short ears238
The recombination frequency between the tail-size and the ear-size genes is approximately:
