You are attempting to map the chromosome of a silk moth. You know that red eyes and white banded wings are recessive to the wild type eyes and wings. You cross a homozygous recessive moth with a homozygous dominant moth. The f1 generation has all wild type traits. You then allow the f1 progeny to interbreed and acquire the following numbers: Wild type eyes and wild type wings -418 Red eyes and wild type wings -16 Wild eyes and white banded wings- 16 Red eyes and white banded wings - 426 Determine the recombination frequency of Red eyes and white banded genes. Also, determine the distance between them.

Question

You are attempting to map the chromosome of a silk moth. You know that red eyes and white banded wings are recessive to the wild type eyes and wings. You cross a homozygous recessive moth with a homozygous dominant moth. The f1 generation has all wild type traits. You then allow the f1 progeny to interbreed and acquire the following numbers:

Wild type eyes and wild type wings -418

Red eyes and wild type wings -16

Wild eyes and white banded wings- 16

Red eyes and white banded wings - 426

Determine the recombination frequency of Red eyes and white banded genes. Also, determine the distance between them.
