Two major sources of mutation are radiation and reactive oxygen species (ROS).The reactive oxygen species hypothesis for aging postulates that 

1) Senescence results from the accumulation of DNA, lipid, and protein damage inflicted by ROS of mitochondrial origin; and

2) Mitochondria of long-lived species should produce high ROS than do mitochondria of short-lived species.

3) the capacity of mitochondria to consume ROS might distinguish long-lived species from short-lived species, rather than differences in ROS generation.

You perform the three different two-factor crosses (Cross 1: XY and xy, Cross 2: YZ and yz, and Cross 3: XZ and xz). Assume all crosses are between diploid flies homozygous for the alleles of these genes. You observe 7% recombinants in the first cross, 20% recombinants in the second cross, and 13% recombinants in the third cross. if cross between XyZ and xYz leads to which of the followining recombinant with double cross over .
