Four genes (A, B, C, and D) are on the same chromosome. Based on the recombination frequencies among them shown below, what is their order on the chromosome? A-B: 13% B-C: 8% A-C: 21% B-D: 12% A-D: 25% C-D: 3% A. CBAD B. BACD C. ABCD D. ADCB E. CDBA

Four genes (A, B, C, D) are known to be located on the same chromosome. A series of crosses was completed to determine the recombination frequencies: A-B 46% A-C 16% A-D 38% B-C 30% B-D 8% C-D 22% Based on these numbers, what is the correct order of the genes on the chromosome?

Four genes (A, B, C and D) are on the same chromosome. The recombination frequencies calculated from recombinant offspring of an F1 test cross are obtained as follows: B-D 4%, B-C 13%, B-A 12%, C-D 10%, and D-A 15%. Which is the correct order of genes on the chromosome?
