In flies, assume black (B) is dominant and green (b) is recessive for abdomen color, and straight (S) is dominant and bent (s) is recessive for antenna shape. Assume also that these genes are found on the same chromosome. If single mutants for each of these genes (green abdomen x bent antenna) are crossed with one another, and you then testcross the resulting offspring, you get the following numbers of each phenotype: black, straight 17 green, bent 12 black, bent 337 green, straight 364 What is the map distance between B and S? You must show and clearly label ALL work

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.
