A triple-point testcross of a plant is used to determine theorder of linked genes g, t, and l. The wild-typeparental phenotypes are green, tall, and leafy, represented by thetriple heterozygote g+t+l+/gtl. The mutant plants are red,dwarf, and sparse, represented by the triple recessivegenotype gtl/gtl. The least frequent phenotypes in the progenyof the testcross are red, tall, and leafy, and green, dwarf, andsparse. Based on the results of the testcross below, what is thegenetic distance in map units between the genes g and l?
