Question
**Part A**

A cross in *Drosophila melanogaster* involved the recessive X-linked genes for white eye (w), yellow body (y), and cut wings (ct). A wild-type tri-hybrid female was crossed with wild-type males, and only the male offspring were tallied. On the basis of the results shown below, which of the choices shown best represents the genetic map of the three loci on the X-chromosome?

**Phenotype - Male Offspring**

- + y ct: 63
- w + +: 60
- w y ct: 16
- + + +: 11
- + + ct: 4
- w y +: 2
- + y +: 247
- w + ct: 197

**Diagrams**

1. **Option 1:**

   - y --- 5.5 mu --- w --- 21.5 mu --- ct

2. **Option 2:**

   - w --- 5.5 mu --- y --- 21.5 mu --- ct

3. **Option 3:**

   - y --- 21.5 mu --- w --- 5.5 mu --- ct

4. **Option 4:**

   - w --- 4.5 mu --- ct --- 20.5 mu --- y

5. **Option 5:**

   - y --- 20.5 mu --- ct --- 4.5 mu --- w

*Note: "mu" stands for map unit, a measure of genetic distance.*
