When F1 female Drosophila of the genotype a+ a b+  b c+  c is test crossed, the following progenies were obtained:

Progeny classes Number of progenies
a+ b+ c+ 22
a+ b+ c 28
a b c+ 26
a b c 24
a+ b c+ 230
a+ b c 220
a b+ c+ 225
a b+ c 225
Total 1000

The progeny has been shown as classes derived from the female gamete.

1. Genes a and b are linked in cis.

2. Genes a and b are linked in trans.

3. Genes a and b are linked in cis while b and c are linked in trans.

4. The genotypes of the parents are a+ a+ b+ b+ and aabb.

5. The genotypes of the parents are a+ a+ bb and aab+ b+.

6. genes a and b are 10 cM apart.

Genes a and b are linked in trans and the genotypes of the parents are a+ a+ bb and  aab+b+. Genes a and b are 10 cM apart. Therefore, three statements are correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
