Theodore Mcdaniel · Answer 1

The correct answer is D. one crossover inhibits another.

Explanation:

In genetics, interference is defined as a reduction or an increase in the chances of occurrence of further crossover event in a given interval at one location or a close by region of the chromosome, due to crossover occurring in another location.

Succinctly, interference occurs when one crossover inhibits another.
