You are given the following information on genetic distances between paired genes under study. A and B are 22 cM apart; A and C are 12 cM apart; A and D are 5.9 cM apart; and D and C are 6.1 cM apart. If you use this information to construct a genetic map, what is the order of genes on this chromosome?
