A scientist performed the gene mapping experiments in maize. He mapped the genes on chromosomes on the basis of % crossing over between different genes. One map unit corresponds to one % crossing over or recombination. The genes showing more than 50% recombination were not supposed to be linked on same chromosome. In crossing over studies on maize, scientist observed the following % crossing over between genes A,B,C,D- between. A and D 10%, between A and C 3%, between genes C and D 7%, between genes A and B 5%, and between genes C and B 8%. On the basis of above observation find cut the correct sequence of genes A,B,C and D on chromosomes:-
