It highlights the importance of parental genotypes in determining allele configurations (cis or trans) and details an experiment with dihybrid organisms from pure-breeding lines. A testcross with recessive individuals helps identify gamete genotypes, enabling calculation of recombination frequencies from observed phenotypes.
