  1. You are doing lab work with a new species of beetle. You isolated lines that breed true for either blue shells and long antenna, or green shells and short antenna. Crossing these lines yields F1 progeny with blue shells and long antenna. Crossing F1 progeny with beetles that have green shells and short antenna yield the following progeny:

    Blue shell, long antenna

    92

    Green shell, short antenna

    88

    Blue shell, short antenna

    27

    Green shell, long antenna

    33

    Total

    240

    Assuming that the genes are linked, what is the map distance in cM between them?

    33 cM

    47.9 cM

    25 cM

    27 cM

    69 Cm

    92 cM

    50.4

    52 cM

    46.5 cM

    88 cM

Answer #1

Recombination frequnacy = no of recombinant / total no of offspring

= 27+33/23+33+92+88

60/240

=0.25

converting into map distnace =0.25x 100

=25cM
