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.

Consider three genes: X, Y, and Z. The recombination frequency between X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z gene pairs was found to be 50%, 25%, and 50%, respectively. What would be the right inference?

1. genes X and Y are on the same chromosome
2. genes X and Z are on different chromosomes
3. genes Y and Z are on different chromosomes
4. All three genes are located on the same chromosome
