Question

For all questions, assume that you have genes for beak color, tail-feather length, and feather color all linked (located) on the same chromosome, but you don't know the order of the genes on the chromosome or the distance between them. The alleles for these genes are
beak color: Y for yellow beak (YY and Yy) and y for black beak (yy)
tail-feather length: L for long tail (LL and Ll) and l for short tail (ll)
feather color: B for blue feathers (BB and Bb) and b for white feathers (bb)

Part 1: Crossing Beak Color and Tail-Feather Length
Cross a YyLl (heterozygous parent with dominant traits) with yyll (homozygous parent with recessive traits). Look at the number of genotypes of the F1 generation:
YyLl: 400
Yyll: 100
yyLl: 100
yyll: 400


1. Which offspring are the recombinant offspring in this cross?
Answer:
Yyll and yyLl


I need help with the following:


2. How far apart are Y and L? Give your answer in map units. (Hint: Add the numbers of the two recombinant types, divide by the total number of offspring, and multiply by 100.)
