A research team interested in mapping human genes discovered a new restriction lengthpolymorphism (RFLP).a. First, they test the RFLP in a family with the pedigree below. The individuals colored blueare affected by hemophelia, a blood clotting disease.DadMomdaughter1daughter2son1son1On what chromosome is the RFLP found? Explain your answer.b. Next, they genotyped (determined the RFLP polymorphism, type 1 or type 2) of daughterl'sfamily with the results shown below:husbanddaughter1%3DAre the RFLP and the hemophilia gene linked? Explain your reasoning. c. Finally, the research team genotyped hundreds of families affected by haemophilia. Amongthose families, they found many that had a pattern of RFLP like that of daughter1, herhusband and her parents. When they genotyped the children in those families, they foundthe following association between the RFLP and hemophilia:4584654442The numbers at the bottom indicate the number of progeny with that combination ofhemophilia phenotype and RFLP polymorphism found among these families. What is themap distance between the RFLP and the hemophilia gene? Show your work. (hint: thinkabout how this pedigree is similar to the gene mapping experiment with black and vestigialfruit flies)
