Step-by-step solution
Morgan carried out several dihybrid crosses in Drosophila to study genes that were sex-linked. In his Cross A (yellow body and white eye), he observed tight linkage with only 1.3% recombination. In Cross B (white eye and miniature wing), the genes were loosely linked, showing 37.2% recombination. Alfred Sturtevant, Morgan's student, used the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes and mapped their position on the chromosome (Genetic mapping).
