One thousand (1000) progeny of this cross aredistributed in the following phenotypic classes:Wild type 27Striped thorax 11Coal body 484Glassy eyes, coal body 8Glassy eyes, striped thorax 441Glassy eyes, coal body, striped thorax 29a. Draw a genetic map based on these data.b. Show the arrangement of alleles on the two homologous chromosomes in the parent females.c. Normal-appearing males containing the samechromosomes as the parent females in the precedingcross are mated with females showing glassy eyes,coal-colored bodies, and striped thoraxes.
