Biol 121 Worksheet - Genetic Crosses Tomatoes 1. In tomatoes, yellow flowers (F) are dominant to white flowers (f) and thick stems (T) are dominant to thin stems (t). Pollen from a tomato with thick stems and white flowers pollinates a tomato with thin stems and yellow flowers. The F1 all have thick stems and yellow flowers. a) When you perform a testcross on the F1s, if the genes segregate independently, what phenotypes do you expect and in what ratio do you expect these phenotypes to occur? Show all your work.

Question

I don't really understand how to solve this question. For part a, I think my approach would be to find the genotypes of the parents first, and find the genotype of the F1. For part B, I would like to get some clarifications on the difference between linked genes with no crossing over vs. unlinked genes when approaching Punnett square type questions. Thank you 

also answer part a and b
