A competent bacterial strain with genes a, b, and c is transformed by a donor bacterial fragment. Cotransformation frequencies for each gene pair are as follows:



Which conclusion can be definitively made from this data?

▸ Genes b and c are farthest apart.

▸ Gene order is a, b, then c.

▸ Gene a is closer to c than to b.

▸ Gene b is closer to c than to a.

▸ Cotransformation of b and c is so frequent, they must be one gene.
