Analyses Given corn has three loci under observation ie C stands for seed colour Red dominant and white recessive S stands for seed shape Plump dominant and shrunken recessive and W stands for seed coating Normal dominant and waxy recessive controlling loci Given trihybrid cross is CsWcSw X cswcsw parental combination will be CsW and cSw the respective offspring no is 2777 and 2708 while some recombinant offspring will also be produced due to the cross over CO    See Answer
