In a test cross involving F1 dihybrid flies, more parental-type offspring were produced than the recombinant type offspring. This indicates

(1) chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis 

(2) the two genes are linked and present on the same chromosome

(3) both of the characters are controlled by more than one gene

(4) the two genes are located on two different chromosomes

(2) segregation in the expected 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio

(3) segregation in 3 : 1
