With reference to the description below, give the phenotypes and numbers of phenotypes in the progeny of the testcross?
Ebony body colour (e), rough eyes (ro), and brevis bristles (bv) are three recessive mutations that occur in fruit flies. The loci for these mutations have been mapped and are separated by the the following map distances.
The interference between these genes is 0.4. A fly with ebony body, rough eyes, and brevis bristles is crossed with a fly that is homozygous for the wild type traits. The resulting F1 females are test crossed with males that have ebony body, rough eyes and brevis bristles; 1800 progeny are produced.

In a testcross, an individual with an unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. The purpose of the testcross is to determine the genotype of the unknown individual by observing the phenotypes of the offspring.
The possible phenotypes in the progeny of a testcross are determined by the genotype of the unknown individual. If the unknown individual is heterozygous for a particular trait, the phenotypes in the progeny will be a 1:1 ratio of the dominant and recessive traits. If the unknown individual is homozygous dominant, all of the progeny will exhibit the dominant trait.
For example, if the unknown individual is heterozygous for a trait with complete dominance, such as flower color (Rr), the phenotypes in the progeny of the testcross will be 50% dominant (red flowers) and 50% recessive (white flowers). In this case, there are 2 phenotypes in the progeny.
If the unknown individual is homozygous dominant for the trait (RR), all of the progeny will exhibit the dominant trait (red flowers). In this case, there is only 1 phenotype in the progeny.
Overall, the number of phenotypes in the progeny of a testcross will depend on the genotype of the unknown individual and the type of inheritance for the trait being studied.

The description is missing, so I cannot provide the phenotypes and numbers of phenotypes in the progeny of the testcross. Please provide the description so I can assist you with your query.
