Construct a linkage map of the three genes


Three recessive mutations in DROSOPHILA cause black body color(b), dumpy wings(dp), and hooked bristles(hk). From a cross of dumpy female with a black, hooked male, all the F1 were wild type for all three characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following phenotypic results:

wild type 169
black 19
black, hooked 301
dumpy, hooked 21
hooked 8
hooked, dumpy, black 172
dumpy, black 6
dumpy 304
