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. A geneticist performed 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):Phenotypes Leaves Stems Roots Number 1 a + + 14 2 a + c 0 3 a b + 32 4 a b c 440 5 + b + 0 6 + b c 16 7 + + c 28 8 + + + 470 Total 1,000Of the phenotypes listed above (1-8), which are the phenotypes of the parents in this cross?
