When the two genes in a dihybrid cross are situated on the same chromosome:
1. The proportion of parental gene combinations was much higher than the non-parental type.
2. The proportion of parental gene combinations was much lesser than the non-parental type.
3. The proportion of parental gene combinations was equal to the non-parental type.
4. Only recombinants are formed.

When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. this can be attributed to the fact that:

(1) The genes are located on X and Y chromosomes

(2) Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes

(3) The genes are located on the X chromosome

(4) The genes exhibit incomplete dominance

Which one of the following statement is incorrect?

1. Sturtevant used the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes
2. Sutton and Boveri argued that the pairing and separation of a pair of chromosomes would lead to the segregation of a pair of factors they carried.
3. Y-linked genes are holandric
4. 7 : 1 : 1 : 7 as linkage ratio in case of dihybrid test cross means that there are 8 parental and 8 recombinant plants
