Many of the cell and tissue movements in Xenopus gastrulation happen simultaneously. Still identify the different types of behaviors that occur during Xenopus gastrulation:

A. Epiboly: The thinning and spreading of the animal cap cells over the vegetal hemisphere, powered by proliferation and radial intercalation.

B. Vegetal rotation: Vegetal cells asymmetrically press up against the inner blastocoel roof on the dorsal side.

C. Bottle cell formation and invagination: The leading edge of invaginating cells crawls up onto the blastocoel roof.

D. Involution and cell migration: Localized apical constriction at the dorsal blastopore lip creates anisotropic forces that foster invagination.

E. Convergence and extension: The targeted medial-to-lateral intercalation of cells on the midline (convergence) drives anterior-posterior axis elongation (extension).

You are conducting genetic linkage studies of an autosomal recessive disease whose chromosomal location has not been firmly established. You are focused on two SSR markers that may be linked to each other and to the disease. Here are two families in which some individuals are affected:
                             
Calculate LOD scores for linkage at θ= 0.02 between the disease and SSR42 in Family 2.
