Summary Introduction

To determine: Map distances from the frequency of recombinants in test crosses.

Introduction: The genes located on the different chromosomes assort independently at the time of gamete formation and linked genes cannot assort independently.

Consider a maize plant: Genotype C/cm ; Ac/Ac+ where cm is an unstable colorless allele caused by Ds insertion.  What phenotypic ratios would be produced and in what proportions when this plant is crossed with a mutant c/c Ac+/Ac+?  Assume that the Ac and c loci are unlinked, that the chromosome-breakage frequency is negligible, and the C allele encodes pigment production.
From a Drosophila testcross, the number of each phenotype obtained was as follows: W+         m            f+            218 W            m+         f              236 W+         m+         f              168 W            m            f+            178 W+         m            f              95 W            m+         f+            101 W+         m+         f+            3 W            m            f              1                                                 Total, 1000 Construct a genetic map.
In the sample data from Sordaria shown in the picture: Count the total number of first and second segregations and calculate map units using equation below:   (recombinant refers to second division segregation and non-recombinants are first division segregations)
