Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive lethal gene and can be detected by an excess concentration of chloride in sweat. If a sweat test reveals a man to be heterozygous and his wife to be homozygous normal, what are the chances that their children will have the disease?

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 the st and pr genes?
