The genes a, b and c are on the same chromosome in Neurosopora, which produces ordered asci. The following asci were obtained from a cross between a b + and + + c Neurospora. The numbers indicate the numbers of asci of each type. Determine the correct gene order and all gene to gene and gene to centromere map distances.
