The following is a schematic representation of region of the chromosome of fly along with extent of six deletions (Del 1 to Del 6); 
When flies homozygous for the recessive mutations are crossed with flies heterozygous for the deletions, the following results are obtained, in which "m" represents a mutant phenotype and a plus sign (+) represents the wild type. On the basis of these data, determine the relative order of the seven mutant eenes on the chromosome.

A panel of cell lines was created by human—mouse somatic-cell hybridization. Each cell line was examined for the presence of human chromosomes and for the production of three enzymes. The following results were obtained: 

On the basis of these results, give the chromosomal locations of the genes encoding enzyme 1, enzyme 2, and enzyme 3.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

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?
