In D. melanogaster, reduced bristles (rd), cinnabar eyes (cn), and vestigial wings (vg) are recessive traits located on chromosome II in that order. The distance between rd and cn is 7 cM and the distance between cn and vg is 9 cM. The CoC for this chromosome is 0.9. A true-breeding female expressing cinnabar eyes and vestigial wings is crossed to a true-breeding male expressing reduced bristles. The F1 are wild type. An F1 female is then test crossed to a male expressing all three traits. Among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only cinnabar eyes? Using the same information from above, among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe completely wild-type flies?
