Question: In a cross between two fruit flies, AB / ab ( where A = long wings, a = vestigial wings, B = black body, b

In a cross between two fruit flies, AB/ab (where A = long wings, a = vestigial wings, B = black body, b = brown body) and ab/ab, the following offspring genotypes were observed:
100 AB (long wings, black body)
80 ab (vestigial wings, brown body)
10 Ab (long wings, brown body)
10 aB (vestigial wings, black body)
Given that the genes for wing size (A/a) and body color (B/b) are located on the same chromosome, calculate the map distance between the two genes.
