That was my answer, but it's wrong. How do I calculate this?

Consider a hypothetical scenario in which the genes that determine body color, eye color, and wing type in fruit flies occur on the same chromosome. To determine the order of the three genes on the chromosome, a researcher looks at hundreds of flies and makes the following observations: 90% of flies with white eyes have straight wings. 75% of flies with white eyes have brown bodies, while the remaining 25% have black bodies. 1% of flies have straight wings, red eyes, and brown bodies. Based on these observations, what is the most probable location of each gene on the chromosome below. Match the genes. ll. body color Ill. eye color I. wing type

Explanation / Answer

6 Ans:

A.II body color-70% of flies with white eyes have brown bodies, while the remaining 25% black bodies

B.I wing type-90% of flies with white eyes have straight wings

C. III eye color-1% of flies have straight wings, red eyes and brown bodies
