Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 4TYU
Using the information from problem 3, scientists do a further testcross using a heterozygote for height and nose morphology. The offspring are tall-upturned snout, 40; dwarf-upturned snout, 9; dwarf-downturned snout, 42; tall-downturned snout, 9. Calculate the recombination frequency from these data; then use your answer from problem 3 to determine the correct order of the three linked genes.

You have determined that the gene order for three linked genes being studied is A B C. The number of recombinants resulting from crossover between genes A and BC are 44 and 48, respectively, while the double-crossover progeny total 4 and 6. What is the recombination frequency between genes A and B if the total progeny from the cross is 1000? Show all of your work.
You are working with a hypothetical fly and have found color and wing
mutants. Preliminary work indicates that the mutant traits are recessive and
the associated genes are not sex-linked, but beyond that, you have no
information. You first look at 2 genes, each with 2 alleles. "B" or “b" for body
color and "W" or "w" for wing surface. The red-body phenotype is dominant
to the yellow-body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled
wings.
The genetic map was based on crosses in Drosophila involving the three sex-linked genes a, b and c. “a” gives red eyes, “b” gives normal wings and “c” gives black body. The recombination frequencies between these genes are as follows; a and b is 23.8, b and c is 2.6 and a and c is 28.1, respectively. Could you draw a basic genetic map based on distance between these genes using dots to show distance(s)? Could you make one fundamental comment using these distances based on genetic linkage?

- Please explain how I can solve this. Thank you You wanted to draw a linkage map for three genes in the fruit fly (A, B, C) that you suspect are linked. You have done a three-point testcross and found that out of the 1500 progeny in the cross, 612 are a · b · c, 603 are A · B · C, 93 are a · B · C, 85 are A · b · c, 53 are a · b · C, 47 are A · B · c, 5 are A · b · C, and 2 are a · B · c.
