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
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.

2. Yellow body (y), vermillion eye color (v) and miniature body (m) are recessive X-linked traits in Drosophila. The order of the genes on the chromosome is y-v-m. The following cross is performed: y v m /y+ v+ m+ (female) X y v m/Y (male) The map distances shown below were generated using 1000 male progeny. y-v - 32.0 cM; y-m - 34.3 cM; v-m - 4.0 cM Which of the following statements is FALSE? The correct answer is B...
A geneticist is using a three-point testcross to map three linked Drosophila recessive mutations called a, b, and c, where a is associated with anomalous gait, bis associated with buckled wings, and is associated with curved bristles. She first crosses homozygous anomalous, buckled flies to homozygous curved flies. Next, she testcrosses the F1 progeny to anomalous, buckled, curved flies. She obtains 1000 progeny distributed as shown. Which gene is in the middle? Testcross progeny phenotype Number curved 277 anomalous, buckled...
A geneticist is using a three-point testcross to map three linked Drosophila recessive mutations called a, b, and c, where a is associated with anomalous gait; b is associated with buckled wings; and c is associated with curved bristles. She first crosses homozygous anomalous, buckled flies to homozygous curved flies. Next, she testcrosses the F1 progeny to anomalous, buckled, curved flies. She obtains 1000 progeny distributed as the following results. From this data, calculate the map distance between a and...
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...
6. Fine spines (s), smooth fruit (tu), and uniform color (u) are three recessive traits in cucumbers. These genes are linked on the same chromosome. A cucumber plant heterozygous for all three traits is used in the testcross, and the following offspring are obtained: SU CCCCCC Reuuuna a) Determine the order of the genes on the chromosome. b) Calculate the map distances between the genes. c) Calculate the coefficient of coincidence and the interference among the genes. total: 230
36. The recessive autosomal maize genes sh and bz are linked and 40 map units apart, If a plant with the genotype sh bz/ sh bz is selfed, what percentage of the progeny will be double recessive? 37. If the recombination frequency between the linked autosomal genes A and B in Drosophila is 15 percent, what phenotypic frequencies would you expect from a cross AB/ab females x AB/ab males? (There is no crossing over in Drosophila males). 38. In the...
