A transformation experiment is performed with a donor strain that is resistant to four drugs: A, B, C, and D. The recipient is sensitive to all four drugs. The treated recipient cell population is divided up and plated on media containing various combinations of the drugs. The table below shows the results. What is the probable order of the three tightly linked genes?

Letʹs say that a hypothetical submersible robot was used to collect samples of sedimentary rock from the sea floor along the section illustrated. The robot moved back and forth along the transect, collecting first from site A, then site III, then site B, then site II, and lastly site D. Assuming that sedimentation has occurred at a constant rate along the transect over the past million years, rearrange the sites mentioned above on the basis of the thickness of the sediments overlying the igneous rock, from thickest to thinnest.

Biologists performed an experiment with flies to examine the effects of population size on the maintenance of genetic variation and on egg-to-adult survival. From a large source population, they randomly assigned eggs to three experimental populations of size N, equal to 20, 60, and0100. For later generations, they collected N eggs from each population and moved them into identical vials that co0ntained f2re0sh me4d0ium. Th6e0y coun8te0d the number of adult flies that emerged and used tissue samples from the adults for genetic analyses. Genetic variation was measured by scoring alleles at several polymorphic loci and expressed as the average number of alleles at those loci. The results are summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.
The numbers of adult flies that emerged from the three populations in the first generation are closest to which of the following?
