Question
Chapter 47, Problem 5A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mountain climbers may face difficulty at high altitudes and elevations as the concentration of the oxygen and carbon dioxide gas in the air is less. The partial pressure of these gases is less in the atmosphere at increased altitude. This causes the occurrence of “hypoxia”. The less availability of oxygen decreases the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in the blood. This causes the difficulty in breathing leading to dizziness and feeling of fainting sensation.

- Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type. From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results: Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8 Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes.
