2. You are making a genetic map and use a cross to measure the distance between genes H and J as 40cMand the distance between J and M as 20cM. When you measure the distance between genes H and M, you get 50 cM. Do the following (A-C).

(A) Draw and label a map of genes H, J, and M.

(B) What is the genetic distance between genes H and M? How do you know? (Answer in 1 sentence)

(C) Complete the table (right). For each pair of genes, write “yes” or “no” to indicate whether the pair of genes are“linked genes” and/orpart of the same“linkage group”.
