<span>In Drosophila + indicates wild-type allele for any gene, m is mahogany and e is ebony.
Female parents are m+/m+ and males are +e/+e.
F1 are m+/+e, all wild type. F1 females are crossed with me/me males - the test cross.
Offspring will be : non recombinant m+/me, mahogany wild type or +e/me wild type ebony. OR
recombinant me/me mahogany ebony or ++/++ wild type.
As the two genes are 25 map units apart, the percentage of recombinants will be 25% and therefore percentage parental types will be 75%.
75% 1000 is 750. There are two parental types, so you would expect 375 of each. Therefore, you would expect 375 m+/me and 375 +e/me.
25% of 1000 is 250 split between two recombinants =125 of each. Therefore you would expect 135 me/me and 125 ++/++</span>

In the area with the largest sea lamprey population, a few things are done to reduce and control this population. Lampricide, Currently, the primary method to control sea lampreys utilizes a lampricide, called TFM, that kills sea lamprey larvae in streams with little or no impact on other fish. Barriers,Barriers have been constructed to block the upstream migration of spawning sea lampreys; most barriers allow other fish to pass with minimal disruption. Barriers have eliminated lampricide treatment on some streams and reduced the stream distance requiring treatment on others. The Sterile-Male-Release-Technique, The sterile-male-release-technique aims to reduce the success of sea lamprey spawning. Each year male sea lampreys are collected and sterilized. When they are released back into streams the sterile males compete with normal males for spawning females. Lastly trapping, Sea lamprey traps are operated at various locations throughout the Great Lakes, often in association with barriers. Traps are designed to catch lampreys as they travel upstream to spawn.
