Linkage was first observed in

In $Drosophila$,crossing over occurs in females but not in males. Genes $A$ and $B$ are located on a chromosome at a distance of $10 \ cM$. The genotype of the female $Drosophila$ is $AB/ab$ and the genotype of the male $Drosophila$ is $AB/ab$. How many types of gametes are produced by the female and male $Drosophila$,respectively?

Drosophila melanogaster has $8$ chromosomes in its somatic cell. How many linkage groups will it have?

Crossing over causes

There are three genes $a, b,$ and $c$. The percentage of crossing over between $a$ and $b$ is $20\%$,between $b$ and $c$ is $28\%$,and between $a$ and $c$ is $8\%$. What is the sequence of these genes on the chromosome?

Alleles of different genes that are on the same chromosome may occasionally be separated by a phenomenon known as
