In a test cross involving F1 dihybrid flies, more parental-type offspring were produced than the recombinant type offspring. This indicates:
1. chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis
2. the two genes are linked and present on the same chromosome
3. both of the characters are controlled by more than one gene
4. the two genes are located on two different chromosomes

When the two genes in a dihybrid cross were situated on the same chromosome:
1. the proportion of parental gene combinations were much lower than the non-parental type.
2. the proportion of parental gene combinations were much higher than the non-parental type.
3. the proportion of parental gene combinations were equal to the non-parental type.
4. only the parental gene combinations were seen in the progeny.
