  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.
