The fruitfly cross shown here analyzes the transmission of two genes on the X chromosome. In the parental generation, the male parent carries mutant alleles for both the white gene (w) and the crossveinless gene (cw)

The female parent carries nonmutant forms of these genes. A cross between siblings of the F1 generationâ€"a red-eyed, crossveined female and a red-eyed, crossveined maleâ€"generates F2 progeny. Examine the genotype of the F2 male progeny. Notice that the progeny fall into two groups. Refer to this figure when answering the following question: The numbers of male F2 progeny with each of the four observed phenotypes are as follows: Red-eyed, crossveined = 357 White-eyed, crossveinless = 341 Red-eyed, crossveinless = 52 White-eyed crossveined = 45 What is the map distance between the two genes w and cw? A. 97 B. 12.2 C. 341 D. 357 E. 13.9
