(a) Which gene is in the miIDle?

(b) With respect to the three genes mentioned in the problem, what are the genotypes of the homozygous parents used in making the phenotypically wild-type F1 heterozygote?

(c) What are the map distances for the three genes? A correct formula with the values “plugged in” for each distance will be sufficient.

(d) What is the coefficient of coincidence? A correct formula with the values “plugged in” will be sufficient.
