Question

In Drosophila, females heterozygous for the recessive alleles c, d, and e were crossed to males homozygous recessive for these three mutant genes.  The phenotypes of the resulting progeny were: 

         cd+            350

       ++e            350

 

       c + e          51

       + d +          49

 

        c + +         100

       + d e         100

     _________     _____

    Total progeny   1000

How were the three pairs of alleles arranged in the heterozygous females?

 

a. +d+/c+e
