In Drosophila melanogaster, vestigial wings are determined by a recessive allele of a gene that is linked to a gene with a recessive allele that determines black body color. T. H. Morgan crossed black-bodied, normal-winged females and gray-bodied, vestigial-winged males. The F1 were all gray bodied, normal winged. The F1 females were crossed to homozygous recessive males to produce testcross progeny. Morgan calculated the map distance to be 17 map units. Which of the following information is correct about the testcross progeny?

#SCPH12 I Genetics
  1. black-bodied, normal-winged flies = 17% of the total

  2. black-bodied, normal-winged flies plus gray-bodied, vestigial-winged flies = 17% of the total

  3. gray-bodied, normal-winged flies plus black-bodied, vestigial-winged flies = 17% of the total

  4. black-bodied, vestigial-winged flies = 17% of the total

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased
Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.
Agglutination of antigens by utilising specific antibodies can only occur, if
