Determinig linkage map and parental genotype... a mistake of the number (may be 991 female). I can give another hypothesis is that there is another allele in female's genotype. The male who is homozygous or hemi-homozygous of this alleles will be dead. There is a difference between male and female, it proves that these alleles are sex-linkage. ...
