When Morgan crossed female drosophila having yellow body and white eyes with males having brown body and red eyes, 1.3% recombinants were found in F2 generation. In another cross between white eyed miniature winged females and red eyed normal winged males, there were 37.2% recombinants. The genes which are far away from those of eye colour are those of
body colour
wing size
both are equidistant
both are near

Answer:This may help you
Explanation:
In Morgan's experiments on linkage, the percentage of white eyed, miniature winged recombinants in F2 generation is 37.2.
Linkage is the phenomenon of certain genes staying together during inheritance through generations without any change or separation due to their being present on the same chromosome. Linkage was first suggested by Sutton and Boveri (1902-1903) when they propounded the famous “chromosomal theory of inheritance.”
Bateson and Punnet (1906) while working on Sweet Pea found that the factors for certain characters do not show independent assortment. They then argued that since Sweet Pea has only a few pairs of homologous chromosomes, a chromosome must possess several factors which should be transmitted together.
