In Drosophila, a female fly is heterozygous for three mutations, Bar eyes (B), miniature wings (m), and ebony body (e). Note that Bar is a dominant mutation. The fly is crossed to a male with normal eyes, miniature wings, and ebony body. The results of the cross are as follows.

111 miniature

101 Bar, ebony

29 wild type

31 Bar, miniature, ebony

117 Bar

35 ebony

26 Bar, miniature

115 miniature, ebony

Interpret the results of this cross. If you conclude that linkage is involved between any of the genes, determine the map distance(s) between them.
