Question

Given the following alleles that control the traits of Drosophila melanogaster:
R = red eyes

L = long wings

B = brown body
r = sepia eyes

l = vestigial wings

b = black body


A testcross between a triple heterozygous parent and a recessive parent revealed the following
expressed alleles:


55 sepia long brown

8 sepial long black
187 sepia vestigial black

1 sepia vestigial brown
43 red vestigial black

196 red long brown
2 red long black

9 red vestigial brown


Determine the order of the loci and the distance between them in centimorgan (cM). Construct a
gene map to show your results. Show COMPLETE solution.
