In corn, the following allele pairs are on chromosome 9:colored (C) vs. white (c)aleurone color; starchy (Wx) vs. waxy(wx) endosperm; and full (Sh) vs.shrunken (sh) endosperm. F1 plantsheterozygous for all three alleles were test crossed; the resultingprogeny had the following phenotypic ratios:


colored, waxy, shrunken 116

colored, starchy, full 601

colored, starchy, shrunken 2538

white, starchy, shrunken 4

white, starchy, full 113

white, waxy, full 2708

white, waxy, shrunken 626

colored, waxy, full _____2

6708

Determine the order of and distances between the threegenes.  Also determine the coefficientof

coincidence (C) and the interference (I).
