In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a spineless (no wing bristles) female fly is mated to a male that is claret (dark eyes) and hairless (no thoracic bristles)

Phenotypically wild-type F1 female progeny were mated to fully homozygous (mutant) males, and the following progeny (1000 total) were observed: Phenotypes Number Observed spineless 321 wild-type 38 claret, spineless 130 claret 18 claret, hairless 309 hairless, claret, spineless 32 hairless 140 hairless, spineless 12 (a) Which gene is in the middle? (b) With respect to the three genes mentioned in the problem, what are the genotypes of the homozygous parents used in making the phenotypically wild-type F1 heterozygote? (c) What are the map distances for the three genes? A correct formula with the values "plugged in" for each distance will be sufficient. (d) What is the coefficient of coincidence? A correct formula with the values "plugged in" will be sufficient.
