Question
A geneticist is using a three-point testcross to map three linked Drosophila recessive mutations called a, b, and c, where a is
associated with anomalous gait, b is associated with buckled wings, and c is associated with curved bristles. She first crosses
homozygous anomalous, buckled flies to homozygous curved flies. Next, she testcrosses the F₁ progeny to anomalous, buckled,
curved flies. She obtains 1000 progeny distributed as shown. From this data, calculate the map distance between b and c.
