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 |

Mendel accounted for the observation that traits which had disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by proposing that
| 1. | new mutations were frequently generated in the F2 progeny, "reinventing" traits that had been lost in the F1. |
| 2. | the mechanism controlling the appearance of traits was different between the F1 and the F2 plants. |
| 3. | traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1. |
| 4. | the traits were lost in the F1 due to dominance of the parental traits. |
