A fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster showing  three point test cross  st+-e+-ss+  was crossed with triplet recessive mutant st-e-ss. The F1 hybrid  was the backcross with the recessive mutant and the phenotype recorded as follows;

The distance in map unit (mu) between  st+  to  e+ and e+ to ss+ is

A series of two-point crosses were carried out among five loci (a, b, c, d and e) producing the following recombination frequencies. Using these recombination frequencies, map these five loci, showing  their linkage groups, the order of the loci in each linkage group is;

What is the correct order of the loci?
