Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, and at least one dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get a wild-type phenotype. a. What phenotypic ratio would you predict among the progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies? b. You cross a particular wild-type male in succession with three tester strains. In the cross with one tester strain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wild type. In the crosses involving the other two tester strains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of the wild-type male? (Pls help asap!!)

Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?
