Last updated: 10/25/2023

The recessive alleles for cinnibar eyes c and vestigial wings v identify two autosomal genes on the third chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster When females heterozygous at these two genes Cc Vv were crossed with cinnibar eyed vestigial winged males the following classes and numbers of progeny n 1000 were obtained wild type eye color wild type wings Wild type eye color vestigial wings Cinnibar eye color vestigial wings Cinnibar eye color wild type wings 46 map units Based upon these results the map distance between the cand v genes is estimated to be 8 map units 92 map units 42 4 map units 464 38 456
