Question

In zebrafish, a male tester was mated to a F1 trihybrid for the genes A, B and C. in cis conformation. The results are in the table above, and they are somewhat weird. What is going on?

Question options:

A is 50 cM from B; C is 12.3 cM from B.

A is linked to neither B nor C; B and C are 12.3 cM apart.

A is in the middle; B is 50cM away on one side; C is 50cM away on the other.

B is unlinked to A; B and C are 6.1 cM apart.

A is sex linked and on the hemizygous part of the chromosome; B and C are 12.3 cM apart on the heterozygous part of the chromosome.

A is 50 cM from B; C is 12.3 cM from B.

A is linked to neither B nor C; B and C are 12.3 cM apart.

A is in the middle; B is 50cM away on one side; C is 50cM away on the other.

B is unlinked to A; B and C are 6.1 cM apart.

A is sex linked and on the hemizygous part of the chromosome; B and C are 12.3 cM apart on the heterozygous part of the chromosome.

Explanation / Answer

Correct answer is

B is unlinked to A; B and C are 6.1 cM apart.

B is unlinked to A; B and C are 6.1 cM apart.
