Question 19 Listen . In Dragons, green skin and the ability to breath fire are on the same chromosome and are dominant to inability to breath fire and white skin You cross a dragon with green skin which can not breath fire to one with white skin that can breathe fire. You then take the offspring and breed them to dragons that can have white skin and can not breathe fire. You get the following results: 57 dragons have white skin and can breathe fire 51 dragons have green skin and cannot breathe fire 14 have green skin and can breathe fire 10 have white skin and cannot breathe fire How far apart are the genes? Round off your answer to the nearest whole number. Just give the number. Do not write "map units" or "percent" or any other words.
