In Drosophila, the map positions of genes are given in map units numbering from one end of a chromosome to the other. The X chromosome of Drosophila is 66 m.u.. long. The X-linked gene for body color-with two alleles, y +for gray body and y for yellow body-resides at one end of the chromosome at map position 0.0. A nearby locus for eye color, with alleles w +for red eye and w for white eye, is located at map position 1.5. A third X-linked gene, controlling bristle form, with f + for normal bristles and f for forked bristles, is located at map position 56.7. Each gene resides on the Xchromosome, and at each locus the wild-type allele is dominant over the mutant allele.
Predict the frequency of gray with white eyes and forked bristles progeny type produced by this mating.

A wild-type trihybrid soybean plant is crossed to a pure-breeding soybean plant with the recessive phenotypes pale leaf l, oval seed (r), and short height (t). The results of the three-point test cross are shown in the table. Traits not listed are wild type.
Calculate the interference value for these data.
