Question
In a 4th year honours project, Amy described short nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on chromosome #1 of
drosophila. Among this polymorphism for the DM3 locus, Amy described 2 alleles (DM1" and DM1°):
5'.TCTTGATC. 3'
DM1T
3'.AGAACTAG. 5'
or
5'.TCTCGATC.3'
3'.AGAGCTAG. 5' DM1C
Amy then wanted to test if the DM1 SNP was linked to the gene for purple eyes. To do so, she first
generated heterozygous flies by crossing true breeding red eyed flies with the DM1" marker with true-
breeding purple eyed drosophila with the DM1C marker:
pr+

She then did a testcross to perform a linkage analysis between the DM3 marker and the gene for purple
eyes:
