Which two traits on the gene map below for the fruit fly are most likely to cross over together? ### Genetic Mapping in Drosophila melanogasterThis figure presents the genetic mapping of several traits in the fruit fly *Drosophila melanogaster*. In genetic studies, the physical distance between genes on a chromosome can be represented as "map units," where one map unit corresponds to a 1% recombination frequency between genes.#### Traits and Phenotypes- **Wild Type (Dominant) Phenotypes:** - Long aristae (bristled appendages on head) - Gray body - Red eyes - Normal wings- **Mutant (Recessive) Phenotypes:** - Short aristae - Black body - Cinnabar eyes - Vestigial wings - Brown eyes#### Genetic MapThe depicted chromosome shows the positions of the genes responsible for the various traits:- The distance between gene loci is measured in map units.- The map starts at 0 map units and continues to 104.5 map units. Here are the specific positions for each gene:1. **Long aristae (0 map units)** - Wild type: Long aristae - Mutant: Short aristae2. **Gray body (48.5 map units)** - Wild type: Gray body - Mutant: Black body3. **Red eyes (57.5 map units)** - Wild type: Red eyes - Mutant: Cinnabar eyes4. **Normal wings (65.5 map units)** - Wild type: Normal wings - Mutant: Vestigial wings5. **Red eyes (104.5 map units)** - Wild type: Red eyes - Mutant: Brown eyes#### Chromosome DiagramThe chromosome diagram features color-coded sections corresponding to the gene loci:- The coloring helps to distinguish regions and their respective distances.- The scale enables a comparative understanding of gene proximity and recombination frequencies between different markers.#### Educational RelevanceUnderstanding the genetic mapping of traits in *Drosophila melanogaster* provides crucial insight into:- Fundamentals of genetic inheritance.- Linkage and recombination rates.- Chromosomal behavior and gene locations.This type of genetic mapping is foundational in studying heredity, variations, and contributing to more advanced applications in genetic research.
