In a fruit fly, the eye colour trait is located on X-chromosome and the vestigial wing trait is located on an autosome. What is the possibility that a cross between a white-eyed male fruit fly with vestigial wings and a wild-type female who is heterozygous for both traits will result in a female offspring with vestigial wings and white eyes?

A dihybrid test cross results in a 1.2% frequency of recombination. This implies that:
1. genes are located on sex chromosomes.
2. genes are located on heterologous chromosomes.
3. genes exhibit epistatic two factor interaction.
4. genes are located very close to one another on the same chromosome.
