4. Tightly linked genes on the same chromosomes show very few recombination
Two genes R and y are located very close on the chromosome linkage map on maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridized, then F2 segregation will show:

2. Segregation with expected 9:3:3:1 ratio
3. Segregation is 3:1 ratio
4. Higher number of parental types
