Exercise 19

Recessive genes u, v, w, x, y, and z are closely linked in a chromosome, but their order is unknown. Three deletions in the region are found to uncover recessive alleles of the genes as follows: deletion 1 uncovers w , x , and z ; deletion 2 uncovers v , w , x , and y ; and deletion 3 uncovers u and v. What is the order of the genes? Suggest what experiments you might carry out to complete the ordering.
