Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the questions below.
A plantlike organism on the planet Pandora can have three recessive genetic traits: bluish leaves, due to an allele (a) of gene A; a feathered stem, due to an allele (b) of gene B; and hollow roots due to an allele (c) of gene C. The three genes are linked and recombine as follows:
A geneticist did a testcross with an organism that had been found to be heterozygous for the three recessive traits and she was able to identify progeny of the following phenotypic distribution (+ = wild type) :
Use the following information to answer the questions below. A plantlike organism on the planet Pandora can have three recessive genetic traits: bluish leaves, due to an allele (a)  of gene A; a feathered stem, due to an allele (b)  of gene B; and hollow roots due to an allele (c)  of gene C. The three genes are linked and recombine as follows: A geneticist did a testcross with an organism that had been found to be heterozygous for the three recessive traits and she was able to identify progeny of the following phenotypic distribution (+ = wild type) :    -What is the greatest benefit of having used a testcross for this experiment? A)  The homozygous recessive parents are obvious to the naked eye. B)  The homozygous parents are the only ones whose crossovers make a difference. C)  Progeny can be scored by their phenotypes alone. D)  All of the progeny will be heterozygous. E)  The homozygous recessive parents will be unable to cross over.
-What is the greatest benefit of having used a testcross for this experiment?
