Short Answer
In the fruit fly,Drosophila melanogaster,a spineless (no wing bristles)female fly is mated to a male that is claret (dark eyes)and hairless (no thoracic bristles).Phenotypically wild-type F₁ female progeny were mated to fully homozygous (mutant)males,and the following progeny (1000 total)were observed:
a) Which gene is in the middle?
b) With respect to the three genes mentioned in the problem,what are the genotypes of the homozygous parents used in making the phenotypically wild-type F₁ heterozygote?
c) What are the map distances between the three genes? A correct formula with the values "plugged in" for each distance will be sufficient.
d) What is the coefficient of coincidence? A correct formula with the values "plugged in" will be sufficient.
