You are checking the sequence of 3 genes using generalized transduction mapping. The recipient is Leu-, AziS, Thr- while the donor is Leu+, AziR, Thr +. If you select the Leu+ as marker, AziR would be 50% while Thr+ would be 2%. If you select Thr+ as marker Leu+ would be 3% and AziR would be 0%. What is the sequence?

Genes Leu and Azi and genes Leu and Thr have a tendency to be incorporated together; this is as a result of their physical proximity. On the other hand Thr and azi hardy show such tendency so they must be farther apart. This results in the sequence with Leu in the middle.
