Now we'll do a second cross. Note that the key is to set up a parent that is heterozygous at two lo (cinnabar eyes) X sh sh cn sh crossover classes 493 487 Distance between sh and c=2 CM 8 CM 一12cM cn sh ---10 CM 10cM一 There are two possible orders. We could resolve them by measuring the cn to vg distance, which should be either 8 CM or 12 cM depending on the order. However, it's difficult in practice to get a statistically significant measurement that would cleanly distinguish between these possibilities. a better way to find the order is to set up all three heterozygous markers at the same time and to look at the frequencies of the eight different gamete genotypes

This is known as a 3 factor cross sh cn sh 900 912 18 22 These are all of the possible combinations. One pair of these gamete classes must be the result of double crossovers. This class will be very rare(0.1 x 0.02 =2 x 10-3).By finding the rare class we have a qualitative test to determine gene order The double crossover classes for the two possible orders are Ch sh (If this were the order these would be the rare classes Cw hpce (Since these are the rare classes we know this to be the order)

One pair of these gamete classes must be the result of double crossovers. This class will be very rare (0.1 x 0.02 = 2 x 10-3). By finding the rare class we have a qualitative test to determine gene order. The double crossover classes for the two possible orders are: cn + vg or + sh + (If this were the order, these would be the rare classes) sh + vg or + cn + (Since these are the rare classes we know this to be the order)

There is a simple system for evaluating 3-factor crosses 1)Group recombinant classes into reciprocal pairs 2) The most frequent pair is the parental classes 3)Derive the gene order from the least frequent pair, which are the double cross over classes 4)The single crossover frequency for the two intervals can be obtained by adding the frequency of each of the single crossover class pairs to the frequency of the double crossover class pair. (In the present example the double crossovers are so rare that their inclusion doesn't matter)
