The Parental Genotypes for a Series of Crosses Are Wild-Type

question 11

Short Answer

The parental genotypes for a series of crosses are wild-type male fruit flies mated to females with white eyes and miniature wings.The phenotypes of the F1 generation were wild-type females,and males with white eyes,and miniature wings,indicating sex chromosome linkage.These flies were allowed to mate with each other and produced the following offspring:
Red eyes,long wings 770
White eyes,miniature wings 716
Red eyes,miniature wings 401
White eyes,long wings 318
Total 2205
How many map units is the gene for eye color from the gene for wing length to the nearest tenth?
