Linkage was described by Morgan in Drosophila. Which of the following combinations are correct?
(i) He hybridised yellow bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red eyed males and then intercrossed their F1
(ii) The ratio of F2 generation is same as that of 9:3:3:1 in this cross.
(iii) The parental combinations are observed more than recombinants.
(iv) According to Morgan Linkage was observed due to chemical association of genes.
