Question

Three recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster, roughoid (ru,
small rough eyes), javelin (jv, cylindrical bristles), and sepia eyes (se,
dark brown eyes) are linked. A three-point cross was carried out and
the following progeny obtained:
jv+ ru+ se+ 37
jv+ ru+ se 2
jv+ ru se 14
jv+ ru se+ 146
jv ru se+ 2
jv ru se 35
jv ru+ se 154
jv ru+ se+ 10
a. Determine the order of the genes on the chromosome.
b. Determine which progeny contain single crossovers and which
contain double crossovers and indicate where among the genes the
crossovers occurred.
c. Calculate the map distances among the genes.
d. Calculate the coefficient of coincidence and interference among the genes
