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.

Assume that you are employed as a developmental biologist at NASA and the first returning mars explorer was found to have a small organism from mars onboard. The organism had the usual head-tail axis as well as dorsal-ventral polarity and what appeared to have right-left asymmetry. However upon analysis it was found to be composed of silicon based compounds and had no DNA, RNA or proteins at all. Discuss reasons why this organism would have similar developmental controls to those of earth’s carbon-based life and also discuss the opposing view as to why it would not. YOU MUST PROVIDE AS MICH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT.
