In fruit flies, white eyes (we) and miniature wings (mw) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits (we+ and mw+); these two genes are on the same chromosome. A fly homozygous for white eyes and miniature wings iscrossed with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have normal eyes and normal wings. The F1 are crossed with flies that havewhite eyes and miniature wings in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross are (1000 total):wild-type eyes, wild-type wings 336wild-type eyes, miniature wings 108white eyes, wild-type wings 142white eyes, miniature wings 414What is the genetic distance between these two loci?25CM33.3cM44.4CM10,8CMThese loci are not linked so they are 50cm apart.
