Morgan's student Sturtevant demonstrated that the recombination frequencies between a series of linked genes is additive. Examine the following recombination data from Sturtevant, and determine the proper order of the genes on the Drosophila X chromosome. Assume y is in the 0.0 position. Gene 1 Gene 2 Recombination frequency
Yellow(y) vermilion(y) 0.322
Vermilion miniature(m) 0.030
White(w) vermiliom 0.297
Yellow white 0.010
White miniature 0.337
A) y m v w.
B) y w v m.
C) y m w v.
D) y w m v.
