In Drosophila melanogaster, the allele for long wings is dominant over the allele for vestigial wings, and the allele for a gray body is dominant over the allele for a black body. A testcross was done to check for genetic linkage between the genes for these traits, with the following results for the offspring: 410 flies with long wings and a gray body
105 flies with long wings and a black body
390 flies with vestigial wings and a black body
95 flies with vestigial wings and a gray body
Which of the choices below best represents the map distance between the genes for these two traits?
A) 20.0 map units
B) 40.0 map units
C) 10.0 map units
D) 100.0 map units
E) 9.5 map units
