A research team genotyped hundreds of families affected by haemophilia. Among those families, they found many that had a pattern of RFLP like that of daughter1, her husband and her parents. When they genotyped the children in those families, they found the following association between the RFLP and hemophilia: The numbers at the bottom indicate the number of progeny with that combination of hemophilia phenotype and RFLP polymorphism found among these families. What is the map distance between the RFLP and the hemophilia gene? Show your work
