The salivary gland chromosomes in the dipteran larva, are useful in gene mapping because:

1. They have endoreduplication chromosomes
2. These are fused
3. These are easy to stain
4. These are much longer in size

A dihybrid test cross leads to a frequency of recombinants of 50% in progeny. The most obvious conclusion will be:

1. The two genes likely are located on different chromosomes.
2. All of the offspring have combinations of traits that match one of the two parents.
3. Abnormal meiosis has occurred.
4. Independent assortment is hindered.

The frequency of crossing over between any two linked genes will be:

1. Higher if they are recessive
2. Dependent on how many alleles there are
3. Determined by their relative dominance
4. Proportional to the distance between
