Question
In squirrels, bushy tail (B) is dominant to smooth tail (b), and gray coat (G) is
dominant to brown coat (g). These two loci are linked. Pure-breeding gray,
smooth-tailed squirrels were mated to pure-breeding brown, bushy-tailed
squirrels. The F1 were testcrossed. Testcross progeny consisted of 278 gray,
smooth-tailed, 21 gray, bushy-tailed, 306 brown, bushy-tailed, and 30 brown,
smooth-tailed squirrels. Calculate the map distance between these two genes in
centimorgans. Round your answer properly to 2 decimal digits. Type in only the
numerical value for your map distance without indicating the units.
