In Drosophila, the genes ct(cut wing margin), y (yellow body), and v (vermilion eye color) are X-linked. Females heterozygous for all three markers were mated with wildtype males and the following male progeny were obtained. As is conventional in Drosophila genetics, the wild-type allele of each gene is designated by a “+” sign in the appropriate column. Use the data to (A) create a genetic map of the genes, (B) calculate interference, and (C) interpret the value of interference. Show your work.
