Question 53

Multiple Choice

A mapping study was done with the E. coli genes cheA, cheB, eda, and supD using P1 generalized transduction. The frequency of cotransduction was determined for pairs of genes as shown below.  Markers % Cotransduction  che A-eda 15 cheA-supD 5 cheB-eda 28 cheB- supD2.7 eda-sup 0\begin{array} { l c } \text { Markers } & \% \text { Cotransduction } \\\text { che A-eda } & 15 \\\text { cheA-supD } & 5 \\\text { cheB-eda } & 28 \\\text { cheB- } \sup D & 2.7 \\\text { eda-sup } & 0\end{array} What is the MOST probable order for the four genes?
