Answer:
1. E. 210 red, smooth; 210 tangerine, hairy; 40 red, hairy; 40 tangerine, smooth
2. B. 0.453
Explanation:
1. Recombination frequency = 16 %
100 % _____ 500 offspring
16 % ______ X = 80 of the offspring will be recombinant (i.e., 40 red, hairy + 40 tangerine, smooth), while the remainder progeny (420) will have the parental genotypes >> 210 red, smooth and 210 tangerine, hairy (i.e., 210 + 210 = 420).
2. Expected double recombinants = 0.16 x 0.08 x 1000 = 12.8
Coefficient of coincidence (c) = 7/12.8 = 0,546875
Coefficient of interference (CI) = 1 - c >>
CI = 1 - 0,546875 = 0.453125
