Chapter 5   Linkage, Recombination, and the Mapping of Genes on Chromosomes

 

In Drosophila, the genes y, f, and v are all X-linked. Females who are homozygous for recessive alleles of all three genes (y f v / y f v) are crossed to wild-type males. The resulting trihybrid F1 females are testcrossed. The F2 are distributed as follows:

 

y  f  v   3210
y  f  v+   72
y  f+  v   1024
y  f+  v+   678
y+  f  v   690
y+  f   v+   1044
y+  f+  v   60
y+  f+  v+   3222
    10,000

  1. A) f——35 m.u.——y——15 m.u.——v
  2. B) f——22 m.u.——y——15 m.u.——v
