Question

QUESTION 2 0.5 points Fruit files that breed true for normal wings and grey bodies VVBB) are crossed with fies that breed true for vestigial wings and black bodies (vwbb). The resulting offspring have normal wings and grey bodies (WBb) are then crossed with flie with vestigial wings and black bodies (vvbb). The resulting offispring occur: 586 normal winged and grey flies 465 vestigial winged and black flies 106 normal winged and black flies 111 vestigial winged and grey flies How far apart are the genes for wing type and body color?

Explanation / Answer

Distance between the two genes = Number of recombinant progenies / Total number of progenies

=217/1268

=0.1711% recombination

=17.11 cM distance.
