Document Summary
The exact linkage map position of a mutation is used to analyze a genetic locus. I hypothesize that one allele will only be found in the center of the chromosome and that three alleles will always be flanking the center allele. This leaves one mutation to being either a center allele or a flanking allele. The flanking alleles have the largest map units and the center allele always has the smallest map units between the other two mutations (dobzhanskyth et al, 1934). The procedure was followed as described by the lab manual (biology. The data was first rearranged in order to identify parentals, single crossovers and double crossovers in the chromosomes.
