Want to know:
Use the figure below, which is from Figure 15.10. It shows the results of a cross between a fruit fly that is heterozygous for a gray body with normal wings, and a fruit fly that has a black body with vestigial wings. Because these genes are linked, the results are not what might have been predicted. Show the phenotypes and number of each type of offspring. Indicate which offspring are there combinants and which are the parental type. Finally, calculate the map distance between the two genes. Show all your work here.
