Draw map of the section of the x chromosomes


The genes for ruby eyes (rb), tan body (t) and cut wings (ct) are all found on the X-chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. All of these are recessive traits. They map in the order rb, ct, t with 12.5 map units between rb and ct and 7.5 map units between ct and t. Suppose you cross a cut wing male with a homozygous female that is both tan and has ruby eyes.

a. What will the F1 females look like?

b. Draw map of the section of the X chromosomes that has these 3 genes for the F1 females.
