How would one explain a test cross involving F1 dihybrid flies in which more parental-type offspring than recombinant-type offspring are produced?
1. The two genes are closely linked on the same chromosome
2. The two genes are linked but on different chromosomes
3. Recombination did not occur in the cell during meiosis
4. The test cross was improperly performed

Which of the following statements is true for linkage?
1. The closer two genes are on a chromosome, the lower the probability that a crossover will occur between them.
2. The observed frequency of recombination of two genes that are far apart from each other has a maximum value of 100%.
3. All of the traits that Mendel studied–seed color, pod shape, flower color, and others–are due to genes linked on the same chromosome.
4. Linked genes are found on different chromosomes
