Female Tsetse flies heterozygous for 3 recessive
mutations, t (tiny body), sq (squint eyes) and sb (soft bristles)
were testcrossed to homozygous t, sq, sb/ t, sq, sb individuals and
the following progeny were obtained:

A)
If the 3 genes are on the same chromosome, determine the map
distance separating the 2 genes t and sb?
a) 1.4 centiMorgans.
b) 1.63 centiMorgans.
c) 14 centiMorgans.
d) 16.3 centiMorgans.
e) 30.3 centiMorgans.
B)
the 3 genes are on the same chromosome, determine the map
distance between the 2 genes t and sq?
a) 1.4 centiMorgans.
b) 1.63 centiMorgans.
c) 14 centiMorgans.
d) 16.3 centiMorgans.
e) 30.3 centiMorgans.
C)
If the 3 genes are on the same chromosome, determine the
order of the 3 genes using the data provided?
(Hint: Remember, it is not possible to ascertain which gene comes
first or last on the chromosome using ONLY the data above. Hence,
there may be more than one potentially correct answer below. If
so, choose EACH possible correct answer.)
a) sb, sq, t.
b) sb, t, sq.
c) t, sq, sb.
d) sq, t, sb.
e) t, sb, sq
D)
What was the genotype of the two chromosomes containing the 3 genes
in the female parents?
a) t, sb, sq+/t+, sb+, sq.
b) t, sb, sq/ t+, sb+, sq+.
c) t+, sb, sq/ t, sb+, sq+.
d) t+, sq+, sb/ t, sq+, sb+.
e) You cannot tell from the data provided.
A)If the 3 genes are on the same chromosome, determine the map
distance separating the 2 genes t and sb?

The answer is e) 30.3 centiMorgans.
C) If the 3 genes are on the same chromosome, determine the
order of the 3 genes using the data provided?
The answer is e) t, sb, sq
D) What was the genotype of the two chromosomes containing the 3
genes in the female parents?
