Question

A series of two-point crosses among fruit flies is carried out between genes for brown eyes (bw), arc wings (a), vestigial wings (vg), ebony body color (e), and curved wings (cv). The following number of nonrecombinant and recombinant progeny were obtained from each cross:
Genes in cross Progeny (NR) Progeny (R)
a,bw 2224 117
a,cv 2609 823
a,e 3200 3200
a,vg 5172 2379
bw,cv 4614 1706
bw,e 4150 4150
bw,vg 2796 1434
cv,e 3116 3116
cv,vg 2102 305
vg,e 4559 4559
Using these data from two-point crosses, what it the best genetic map (in m.u.) that can be developed?
A) cv 5 bw 13 a 34 vg with e assorting independently
B) bw 5 cv 24 vg 32 a with e assorting independently
C) a 5 bw 13 vg 24 e with vg assorting independently
D) cv 13 bw 5 a 27 vg with e assorting independently
E) bw 5 a 24 cv 13 vg with e assorting independently
