Question
**Recombinant Frequency Analysis**

When conjugation occurs between an \( a^+d^+g^+ \) donor and an \( a^-d^-g^- \) recipient, the following recombinants are recovered:

- \( a^+d^+g^+ = 84\% \)
- \( a^-d^+g^+ = 6\% \)
- \( a^+d^-g^+ = 10\% \)
- \( a^-d^+g^- \) = less than 1%

**Question:**
Which gene is in the middle?

Options:
- \( \bigcirc \) \( g \)
- \( \bigcirc \) \( a \)
- \( \bigcirc \) The genes are located too far apart on the bacterial genome to determine which gene is in the middle.
- \( \bigcirc \) \( d \)
- \( \bigcirc \) Insufficient data are provided to answer this question.
