Question

concern a 3-point mapping cross involving the genes for tan body (t), forked bristles (f), and yellow eye (y). THESE QUESTIONS ARE NOT BASED ON REAL MAP DISTANCES IN ANY SPECIES.

Let T = normal body color, dominant; and t = tan body, recessive;

F = normal bristles, dominant; and f = forked bristles, recessive; and

Y = normal eye color, dominant; and y = yellow eye color, recessive.

Below is one possible chromosome arrangements for these gene loci. Which phenotypes below would be the double-crossover products from this arrangement of the gene loci?

normal body, forked bristles, normal eyes

Explanation / Answer

normal body, forked bristles, normal eyes - double crossover

tan body, normal bristles, yellow eyes - double crossover
