Three recessive traits a, b, c are linked in this order. The map distances are as follows:

a-b 20 cM

b-c 15cM

What is the expected number of double recombinants if you examine 1000 progeny?

The answer is 45, but I am not sure why

Answer #1

Expected number of DCO = recombination frequency between ab × recombination frequency between bc × total number of progenies

Recombination frequency = distance between the genes / 100

Expected number of DCO = 20/100 × 15/100 × 1000 = 30

The answer is 30 for sure.

Please rate high.

    Drosophila females of wild-type appearance but heterozygous for three autosomal traits are mated to males that are homozygous recessive for the three traits.  The three autosomal recessive traits are glassy eyes (g), coal-colored bodies (c), and striped thoraxes (t). The three dominant traits are red eyes (g+), gray bodies (c+) and solid thoraxes (t+) (remember, the wild-type allele has a + after it). You examine 1000 progeny of the above cross and they have the following phenotypic classes:                             265      g+c+t+                         275      gct                                     120          g+ct...
