groodies are useful (but fictional) haploid organisms that are pure genetic tool

Question

groodies are useful (but fictional) haploid organisms that are pure genetic tools. A wild-type groody has a fat body, long tail, and flagella. Mutant lines are known that have thin bodies, are tailless, or do not have flagella. Goodies can mate with one another and produce recombinates. A wild-type groody mates with a thin-bodied groody lacking both tail and flagella. The phenotypes of the 1000 baby groodies produced are listed below. Assign genotypes and map the three genes. (make sure to consider double recombinates with constructing the map)

Fat, long tail, has flagella=398
not fat, no tail, no flagella=370
Fat, long tail, no flagella=72
not fat, no tail, has flagella=67
not fat, long tail, has flagella=44
Fat, no tail, no flagella=35
not fat, long tail, no flagella=9
Fat, no tail, has flagella=5

Explanation / Answer

not fat, long tail, has flagella=44 Fat, no tail, no flagella=35
