A competent Hemophilus strain is individually transformed by three genes (a, b, and c) at a rate of 0.002% each. However, cotransformation frequencies for each pair are as follows: a and b 0.38 % a and c 0.72% b and c 0
19% What is the correct conclusion from this data? A) Genes b and c are farthest apart.
B) Gene order is c, b, a.
C) Cotransformation of b and c is so frequent, they must be one gene.
D) Gene a is closer to b than to c.
E) Genes a and c are farthest apart.
