What are the differences between predictive & carrier testing? What is the relevance of incidental findings that may occur as a consequence of these tests?

4. Here we’ve performed a dihybrid testcross with a pizza a dihybrid that is thick crusted with BBQ sauce.

Based on this data, are these genes linked?

This is a dihybrid testcross. You know the phenotype of the dihybrid... given this information, what is the phenotype of the other mating partner in this cross?

Cool. So, based on this data, are these genes in a cis or trans arrangement in your dihybrid?

How many map units apart are the genes for crust thickness and sauce type?

FOR BONUS FUN (not part of the completion point for this HW)... take all of the information you have regarding these 3 pizza genes from questions 3 and 4 and draw a map.
