Include Explanation Please
In Drosophila melanogaster. the genes for brown eyes (hy) and humpy thorax (hy) are about 12 map units apart on the same arm of chromosome 2. A par acentric inversion spans about 1/3 of the region but does not include these genes Part A What recombinant frequency between bw and hy would you expect in females that are homozygous for the inversion? Enter your answer as a percent. Do not include the percent sign, which is already included in the answer box. Part B What recombinant frequency between bw and hy would you expect in females that are heterozygous for the inversion? Enter your answer as a percent. Do not include the percent sign, which is already included in the answer box..Explanation / Answer
the genes bw and hx are 12 map units apart.
the inversion does not include these two genes so it will not affect the recombination frequency
hence, the recombination frequency will be 12 % in both the cases
(map units represent the recombination frequency in percentage)
