Draw a preliminary linkage map of the three loci. What is their order? (E.g. is the forked locus between yellow and cross-veinless, or outside this region?)  As this is a preliminary linkage map - do not account for double crossovers. You should base the distances on this map off your map distances calculated: yellow and forked: 39.3 mu yellow and cross-veinless: 11.9

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
