SCIENTIFIC INQUIRYDraw I T Assume you are mapping genes A, B, C, and D inDrosophila. You know that these genes are linked on the samechromosome, and you determine the recombination frequenciesbetween each pair of genes to be as follows: AB, 8%; AC,28%; AD, 25%; BC, 20%; BD, 33%.(a) Describe how you determined the recombination frequenciesfor each pair of genes.(b) Draw a chromosome map based on your data.
