What is the map distance between sn and ct?

In Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and cut wings (ct) are both caused by recessive, X-linked alleles. The wild-type alleles (sn+ and ct+) are responsible for straight bristles and intact wings, respectively. A female homozygous for sn and ct+ is crossed to a sn+ct male. The F1 flies are interbred. The F2 males are distributed as follows:







A) 12 m.u.

B) 13 m.u.

C) 25 m.u.

D) 50 m.u.

E) 75 m.u.


C) 25 m.u.
