c. Finally, the research team genotyped hundreds of families affected by haemophilia. Among
those families, they found many that had a pattern of RFLP like that of daughter1, her
husband and her parents. When they genotyped the children in those families, they found
the following association between the RFLP and hemophilia:
458
46
54
442
The numbers at the bottom indicate the number of progeny with that combination of
hemophilia phenotype and RFLP polymorphism found among these families. What is the
map distance between the RFLP and the hemophilia gene? Show your work. (hint: think
about how this pedigree is similar to the gene mapping experiment with black and vestigial
fruit flies)
