Question

a) What gene is in the middle?

b) Calculate the genetic distances (in centimorgans, cM) between:

  • genes b and cn:
  • genes cn and wx:
  • genes b and wx:

c) Calculate the interference

In Drosophila, three recessive genes produce black body (b), waxy wings (wx) and cinnabar eyes (cn). A female heterozygous for these
three genes is testcrossed, and 1000 progeny are classified as follows (letters denote recessive phenotypes and pluses denote wild-type
phenotypes):
