Q4. You conducted an experiment similar to Morgan's fruit fly but you used honey bee instead. You are thus following 2 genes, the wing size Long (L) and short (1) and body color Yellow (Y) and black (y). You crossed YyLI x yyll and obtained 4,000 offspring. You counted the offspring classes and found the following distribution as follows: 1200 YyLl individuals 1190 yyll individuals 800 Yyll individuals 810 yyLl individuals a) what is the phenotype of each class of offspring? b) Which classes are of the parental type and which are the recombinant types? c) What is the recombination frequency between both genes? d) What is the map distance in cM and in map units between both genes? When you counted the offspring, you also collected data on a third gene coding for antenna shape. The gene has 2 alleles in the population, bended antenna (B) and straight antenna (b). You found a distance of 13 cM between the gene for antenna shape and that for wing size, and 24 cM between wing shape and body color. Place the 3 genes in the correct order and indicate the distances between them.

Q4. You conducted an experiment similar to Morgan's fruit fly but you used honey bee instead. You are
thus following 2 genes, the wing size Long (L) and short (1) and body color Yellow (Y) and black (y).
You crossed YyLI x yyll and obtained 4,000 offspring. You counted the offspring classes and found the
following distribution as follows:
1200 YyLl individuals
1190 yyll individuals
800 Yyll individuals
810 yyLl individuals
a) what is the phenotype of each class of offspring?
b) Which classes are of the parental type and which are the recombinant types?
c) What is the recombination frequency between both genes?
d) What is the map distance in cM and in map units between both genes?
When you counted the offspring, you also collected data on a third gene coding for antenna shape. The
gene has 2 alleles in the population, bended antenna (B) and straight antenna (b). You found a distance of
13 cM between the gene for antenna shape and that for wing size, and 24 cM between wing shape and
body color. Place the 3 genes in the correct order and indicate the distances between them.
