You cross an individual with genotype XXYYZZ to an individual with genotype xxyyzz, and F1 progeny are collected. Assume interference between regions (X-Y and Y-Z) is 100%. When an F1 individual produces gametes, what proportion of its gametes would have xyz genotype

In the first cross one of the parent has only dominant allele and one has only recessive allele that means the offspring in F1 will be 100% heterozygous

XxYyZz

the gametes resulted from this individual are

XYZ XYz XyZ Xyz xYZ xYz xyZ xyz

it produces 8 types of gamets one of which is xyz the proportion is 1/8
