In an interrupted mating experiment, crosses of three different Hfr strains to an F- strain are
carried out, and the following mapping data are obtained. Assume that it takes exactly 60 minutes
to transfer an entire chromosome (i.e., the total map length is 60 minutes). Based on these data,
what is the best interpretation of the gene order and map distances in the bacterial chromosome?
