Explanation / Answer

** I am doing the first four parts. Please post other parts separately.

In part (c) the distance from gene y to gene r is the recombination frequency observed when two-point crosses are performed using only these two genes.

In part (d) the distance from gene y to gene r is the sum of the RFs between each pair of genes as determined using individual two-point crosses.

The discrepancy between the y to r distance in part (c) and (d) is most likely a result of double crossovers.

A double cross-over is more likely between two genes that are close together; double cross overs increase the number of offsprings in parental classes and therefore lower the RF.
