Cinnabar eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are linked autosomal recesive characters in Drosophila fruit flies.  A homozygous wild-type female was crossed to a reduced, cinnabar male, and the F1 females were then crossed with cinnabar reduced males to obtain the F2.  Of the 200 F2 offspring obtained, 86 were wild type, 13 were cinnabar, 17 were reduced and 84 were reduced and cinnabar.. What is the map distance between the cn and rd alleles?   8,4 mu 15 mu 17 mu 30 mu 13 mu

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
