A scientist uses transduction to map genes in a strain of E. coli. For this experiment, the donor strain is leu+ phe+lys-+arg+. The recipient is leu-phe-lys-arg- Co-transduction rates were • leut and phe+ = 29% • leu+ and arg+ = 46% • leu+ and lys+ = 6% Which gene is furthest from leu? lys phe arg leu  Is the percentage is the chance of being co-transduction
