Question

Two genes in tomatoes are 61 mu apart; normal fruit (F) is
dominant to fasciated fruit (f ), and normal number of leaves
(Lf ) is dominant to leafy (lf ). A true-breeding plant with a
normal number of leaves and fruit was crossed to a leafy plant
with fasciated fruit. The F1 offspring were then crossed to leafy
plants with fasciated fruit. If this cross produced 600 offspring,
what are the expected numbers of plants in each of the four
possible categories: normal leaf number, normal fruit; normal
leaf number, fasciated fruit; leafy, normal fruit; and leafy,
fasciated fruit?
