Consider the following three autosomal recessive mutations in Drosophila: vestigial wings (v); wild type is long (v+) black body color (b); wildtype is gray (b+) plum eyes (p); wildtype is red (p+) A vestigal, gray, red female (homozygous for all three genes) is crossed with a long wing, black, plum male (homozygous for all three genes). The F1 female progeny are mated with triple homozygous recessive males. Here is the phenotypic data for the F2 progeny: vestigal; gray; red 580 long wings; black; plum 592 vestigal; black; red 45 long; gray; plum 40 vestigal; black; plum 89 long; gray; red 94 vestigal; gray; plum 3 long; black; red 5 A total of 1448 progeny were counted. Which one of the following values is the approximate distance between the plum eye color and black body color loci?

Consider the following three autosomal recessive mutations in Drosophila:

vestigial wings (v); wild type is long (v+)
black body color (b); wildtype is gray (b+)
plum eyes (p); wildtype is red (p+)

A vestigal, gray, red female (homozygous for all three genes) is crossed with a long wing, black, plum male (homozygous for all three genes). The F1 female progeny are mated with triple homozygous recessive males. Here is the phenotypic data for the F2 progeny:

vestigal; gray; red 580
long wings; black; plum 592
vestigal; black; red 45
long; gray; plum 40
vestigal; black; plum 89
long; gray; red 94
vestigal; gray; plum 3
long; black; red 5

A total of 1448 progeny were counted.

Which one of the following values is the approximate distance between the plum eye color and black body color loci?
