You are interested in a new type of autosomal dominant mutation that gives purple eyes in Drosophila. You have a true-breeding purple-eyed line carrying a mutation that you call pr-1. You have isolated a second purple-eyed mutation that you call pr-2, which you have established in a true-breeding line that also carries a recessive marker st, which gives stubby legs. You cross a fly from the pr-1 line to a fly from the st, pr-2 line producing F1 females which you then cross to males from a true breeding st line (normal eyes). From this cross, 1000 progeny flies can be categorized into four different phenotypic classes:

                       

What is the distance between pr-1 and pr-2 in cM?

Given below are some of the statements that regulate the sucrose loading mechanism;

A) The solute potential or, more likely, the turgor pressure of the sieve elements

B) Sucrose concentration in the apoplast

C) The available number of symporter protein molecules

Possible observation given on how to avoid regulation;

i) increase in sieve element turgor above a certain threshold would lead to a compensatory increase in loading

ii) High sucrose concentrations in the apoplast would increase phloem loading

iii) SUT1 transporter mRNA and protein have been lower after 15 hours of darkness than after a light treatment. These data suggest that the concentration of SUT1 transporter molecules could regulate loading

iv) Decrease in sieve element turgor below a certain threshold would lead to a compensatory increase in loading

v) The transporter mRNA and protein high in darkness than lower in the light treatment

Which of the following combinations represents correct observation?
