Question

Your job is to create a chromosome map on the line below for the following Caminalcule traits. Answer the questions at the bottom of the page. Include on your final map, the trait names and total distance each allele is from 0. Keep in mind, map unit distances can go to the left or right of your starting point.

Chromosome maps are created by reading two-point cross distances in order. If we look at the crosses with the White Body locus, we see that Arms Forked and Short Body loci are closest to White Body. However, they are in opposite directions, as the distance between Arms Forked and Short Body (13.7) is greater than the distance between White Body-Arms Forked or White Body-Short Body. Each subsequent locus is placed according to their distance from these three loci.
