Question: Here are the distances between adjacent pairs of loci (listed below). A map distance of 50 = independent assortment. Please map the genes giving the distances between adjacent pairs of loci. Just to clarify–for loci A–it has to be a distance of 14 away from loci G, but a distance of 50 away from all of the other loci. Loci B has to be 35 away from C and 18 away from F (so F is obviously in the middle of B and C), but 50 away from everything else.
