Answer #1

% recombination between A and B is 10. Therefore, distance between A and B is 10 cM. Similarly since the % recombination between A and C is 7%, so the distance between the two is 7 cM and the distance between B and C is 17 cM.

So according to this, A seems to be the middle gene with B and C on either sides. Thus, the gene order will be either BAC or CAB.
