In a series of two-point mapping crosses involving five genes located on chromosome II in Drosophila, the following recombinant (single-crossover) frequencies were observed:

pradp

29%

pr-vg

13

prc

21

prb

6

adpb

35

adpc

8

adpvg

16

vgb

19

vgc

8

cb

27

(a) Given that the adp gene is near the end of chromosome II (locus 83), construct a map of these genes.


(b) In another set of experiments, a sixth gene, d, was tested against b and pr:

db

17%

dpr

23%

Predict the results of two-point mapping between d and c, d and vg, and d and adp.
