In a three-point linkage analysis, the RF values for three genes were determined as the following: genes A and B (RF=25%), genes B and C (RF=50%), genes A and C(RF=35%). Based on this analysis, which of the following statement is correct? Gene B is only linked to gene A but not to gene C, because the RF value of gene B and C is 50%. O Of the genes that are linked, A and C is the furthest apart with a distance of ~35 cM. O Of the three genes, B and C is the furthest apart with a distance of 50 cM. O Of the three genes, B and C is the furthest apart with a distance of ~60 cM.

Question
In a three-point linkage analysis, the RF values for three genes were determined as
the following:
genes A and B (RF=25%),
genes B and C (RF=50%),
genes A and C(RF=35%).
Based on this analysis, which of the following statement is correct?
Gene B is only linked to gene A but not to gene C, because the RF value of gene
B and C is 50%.
Of the genes that are linked, A and C is the furthest apart with a distance of ~35
cM.
O Of the three genes, B and C is the furthest apart with a distance of 50 cM.
Of the three genes, B and C is the furthest apart with a distance of ~60 cM.
