When a culture of rodent cells is infected with a DNA tumor virus whose gene products bind to p53 and RB, all the cells take on characteristics of malignancy. If the viral gene coding the p53-binding protein is mutated, but that coding for the RB-binding protein is not mutated, how will infected cells respond?

Transcription of eukaryotic genes can be repressed in various ways. These include the four mechanisms

1. Competition	a-Repression is caused by recruiting histone modifiers that alter nucleosomes in ways that inhibit transcript
2. Inhibition	b-A repressor binds to a site on DNA beside an activator and interacts with that activator, occluding its activating region
3. Direct repression	c-By binding to a site on DNA that overlaps the binding site of an activator, a repressor can inhibit binding of the activator to a gene and thus block activation of that gene.
4. Indirect repression	d-A repressor binds to a site upstream of a gene and, by interacting with the transcriptional machinery at the promoter in some specific way, inhibits transcription initiation.

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
