Assume that in watermelon plants the genes for flower color (Y = yellow; y = orange flowers) and fruit shape (R = round; r = oval) are on the same chromosome. You cross two true-breeding plants, one with yellow flowers and round fruit and the other with orange flowers and oval fruit. You take one of the F1 individuals and cross it with a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits. You get the following in the F2: 300 yellow flowers, round fruit; 300 orange flowers, oval fruit; 100 yellow flowers, oval fruit, 100 orange flowers, round fruit.What is the map distance between the genes for flower color and fruit shape?
A. 100.0
B. 40.0
C. 33.0
D. 25.0
