In Drosophila Melanogaster, gray body
color and normal wings are dominant alleles. The recessive alleles
of these 2 genes code for black body color and vestigial wings.
Flies heterozygous for both traits are crossed with the following
results

Gray body, normal wings    247

Black body, vestigial wings   236

Gray body, vestigial wings    53

Black body, normal wings    64

Would you say that these 2 genes are linked? If so, how many map
units are they on the chromosome?
