If the strength of linkage between y and w is higher than w and m [y, w and m are three linked genes located on a chromosome]:
1.
the number of recombinants between y and w will be higher than the number of recombinants between w and m.
2.
the number of recombinants between y and w will be lower than the number of recombinants between w and m.
3.
the number of recombinants between y and w will be equal to the number of recombinants between w and m.
4.
no recombinants between y and w and between w and m will be formed as they are linked.
