These are the results of a three point test cross in Drosophila for the three loci cv f v: cv + + = 155, cv f + = 78, + f + = 145, cv f v = 274, cv + v = 192, + + v = 72, + f v = 144, + + + = 230. What is the map distance to 2 decimal places between the v and f loci? Hint: Establish gene order first."
Answer has been attached below.
To determine the order of the gene, we have to look two points
- parental phenotype- maximum no phenotype
Double cross over - least no of phenotype
So in between them we have to look at the gene , which is being cross over . The gene which is being cross over located in the middle .
