A) No, if two genes are on the same chromosome, they will be linked and the recombination frequency will be less than 50%.
B) Yes, if the two genes are close enough to each other, there are a limited number of crossover events between them.
C) No, there will be a very high crossover interference such that the recombination frequency will be reduced significantly.
D) Yes, if the genes are far enough apart on the same chromosome, a crossover occurs between them in just about every meiotic event.
E) Yes, but only if the two genes are both homozygous.
