Question
**Changes in Chromosome Structure and Number**

**20.** Six bands in a salivary gland chromosome of Drosophila are shown here along with the extent of five deletions (Del 1 to Del 5):

```
------1-------2-------3-------4-------5-------6------ 
Del 1  ========================================
Del 2        =========================== 
Del 3                ==================
Del 4                       ===========
Del 5                                               =======
```

Recessive alleles \( a, b, c, d, e, \) and \( f \) are known to be in this region, but their order is unknown. When wild-type individuals with the deletions are testcrossed to individuals recessive for all six genes, the following results are obtained (a minus sign indicates the wild-type allele is masking the expression of the recessive mutant allele, a plus sign indicates the recessive allele is being expressed). Use these data to infer which salivary band corresponds to each gene.

|       | a   | b   | c   | d   | e   | f   |
|-------|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| Del 1 | +   | +   | -   | +   | +   | +   |
| Del 2 | +   | +   | -   | +   | -   | -   |
| Del 3 | -   | -   | -   | +   | -   | -   |
| Del 4 | -   | -   | -   | -   | -   | -   |
| Del 5 | -   | -   | -   | -   | -   | +   |

This table indicates which alleles are expressed under each deletion, helping to determine the location of each gene along the chromosome.
