Question:
In maize, the genes Pl for purple leaves (dominant over Pl for green leaves), sm for salmon silk (recessive to Sm for yellow silk), and py for pig my plant (recessive to Py for normal-size plant) are on chromosome 6, with map positions as shown:
pl......... sm........ py
45........ 55......... 65
Hybrids from the cross Pl sm py/Pl sm py × pl Sm Py/pl Sm Py were testcrossed with pl sm py/pl sm py plants. Predict the phenotypes of the offspring and their frequencies assuming
(a) No interference
(b) Complete interference.
