Genes A and B are located 10cM from each other on a chromosome. Gene C is located 25cM from gene A and 15cM from gene B. Assuming that I = 0, what is the probability that the trihybrid ABC/abc will produce an ABC gamete?
I get that ABC is a result of a double crossover. A similar question was answered and said that
Probability of SCO - DCO = 0.25 - 0.015 = 0.235
PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU GET .25 and .015. Please do not say that it's SCO and DCO actually please explain Did they get that SCO is .25 because that's A to C, and did they say .015 because that's distance from C to B and B to A? Please I am very confused. Thanks.

How do each of these two organ systems participate in ensuring that the body has enough energy and nutrient molecules? How does each system participate in osmoregulation? How does system each participate in eliminating waste?
Please include: Duodenum, Villi, microvilli, pepsin, protease, chime, jejuno-ileum
Glomerulus - ball of arterioles; source of filtrate
Bowman's capsule – where filtrate is initially absorbed into nephron
proximal tubule—nutrients are absorbed and liver toxins are secreted
loop of Henle—sets up concentration gradient in renal medulla
distal tubule—last adjustment of pH and ion balance
collecting duct—last adjustment to concentration of urine
