- A standard three-point mapping is conducted for recessive mutations in autosomal genes purple eye (pr), curved wing ( c) and black body (b). Their wild type alleles are also used for genetic mapping. An F1 Drosophila female heterozygous for purple eye (pr), curved wing (c) and black (b) is crossed to a triply homozygous mutant male. The observed numbers and phenotypes of the offspring are as follows: 360 pr c b 380 pr+ c+ b+ 104 pr c+ b 96 pr+ c b+ 30 pr c b+ 20 pr+ c+ b 6 pr c+ b+ 4 pr+ c b PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING: A) State the order of genes on this chromosome.

Assume that a cross is made between a fly that is homozygous for normal wings and has a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings that is homozygous for normal body. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 F2 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the F2 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?
