Question:medium

In maize coloured (C) and full endosperm (F) is dominant over colourless (c) and shrunken endosperm (f). \(F_1\) generation was subjected to test cross. It produced four phenotypes in the following percentages: \[ \begin{aligned} &\text{Coloured full }=48\% &\text{Coloured shrunken }=5\% &\text{Colourless full }=7\% &\text{Colourless shrunken }=40\% \end{aligned} \] Find out the distance between two non-allelic genes.

Show Hint

Gene distance is calculated as \[ \boxed{ \text{Map distance (cM)} = \%\text{ recombinants}. } \] Here, \[ 5\%+7\%=12\%. \]
