A three point test cross was carried out in Drosophila melanogaster involving three adjacent genes A, B and C. arranged in the same order. The distance between A to B is 15 map unit (mu) and that between B to C is 30 map. The coefficient of coincidence = 0.67. What is the percentage of double recombinants in the progeny obtained from the testcross?

In Neurospora a cross between the genotypes 'A' and 'a' results in an ascus with ascospores of genotypes as shown below: 

 Statements A to D are events that could have occurred during meiosis.

A) Class I is results of no crossing over between the centromere and gene.

B) Class II is results of single crossing over between the centromere and gene

C) Class I shows segregation of alleles 'A' and 'a' in meiosis II

D) Class II shows segregation of alleles 'A' and 'a' in meiosis II
