A geneticist is using a three-point testeross 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 Fi progeny to anomalous, buckled, curved flies. She obtains 1000 progeny distributed as shown. From this data, calculate the map distance between b and c. Testcross progeny phenotype Number map distance: m. u. curved 281 anomalous, buckled 279 wild type anamalous, buckled, curved buckled, curved 133 anomalous 127 86 anomalous, curved buckled 84
