5. The following recessive traits are found in fruit flies: vermilion eyes are recessive to red eyes, miniature wings are recessive to long wings, and sable body is recessive to gray body. A cross was made between true breeding wild-type males with true breeding females for vermilion eyes, miniature wings and sable bodies. All of the F1 generation are heterozygous and had the wild-type phenotype. The females from this cross were then test-crossed to males with vermilion eyes, miniature wings, and sable bodies. The progeny was examined and the outcome is as follows: a) Phenotype Red eyes, Miniature wings, Sable body Vermilion eyes, Long wings, Sable body Vermilion eyes, Miniature wings, Sable body Red eyes, Long wings, Sable body Vermilion eyes, Miniature wings, Gray body Red eyes, Long wings, Gray body Red eyes, Miniature wings, Gray body Vermilion eyes, Long wings, Gray body Number of Progeny 18 112 308 66 59 321 102 15 Using proper nomenclature, calculate the map distance between the three genes.

The following recessive traits are found in fruit flies: vermilion eyes are
recessive to red eyes, miniature wings are recessive to long wings, and
sable body is recessive to gray body. A cross was made between true
breeding wild-type males with true breeding females for vermilion eyes,
miniature wings and sable bodies. All of the F1 generation are
heterozygous and had the wild-type phenotype. The females from this
cross were then test-crossed to males with vermilion eyes, miniature
wings, and sable bodies. The progeny was examined and the outcome is
as follows:
a)
