In a newly discovered species of Giant Pacific Octopus, long tentacles (L) are dominant to short tentacles (l), strong suction cups (S) are dominant to weak suction cups (s), and brown body color (B) is dominant to red body color (b). A trihybrid test cross was performed between male octopuses that were heterozygous for all three genes, and female octopuses that were homozygous recessive. (You may assume that the dominant alleles exhibit complete dominance.) The results of this cross are shown in the table attached a) If the three genes are linked, draw a diagram that shows the correct orderof the three genes on the chromosome (with respect to which gene is in the middle) and also LABEL Region I and Region II on your diagram. b) Calculate the map distances between each of the three genes. Please show the formula used for each calculation, and show ALL calculations. Define which region is your region I and which region is your region II. (For example, please state the region I is between genes x and y, and region II is between genes y and z.)
