Question:

In Drosophila, the genes st (scarlet eyes), ss (spineless bristles), and e (ebony body) are located on chromosome 3, with map positions as indicated:

st....... ss........ e
44.......58.......70

Each of these mutations is recessive to its wild-type allele (st+, dark red eyes; ss+, smooth bristles; e+, gray body). Phenotypically wild-type females with the genotype st ss e+/st+ st+ ss+ e were crossed with triply recessive males. Predict the phenotypes of the progeny and the frequencies with which they will occur assuming (a) No interference and (b) Complete interference.
