The recombination frequency with respect to body color and eye color is 1.3% which shows the two genes are strongly linked. The recombination frequency with respect to eye color and length of wings is 37.2% which shows that the genes for eye color and length of wings are loosely linked. Less recombinants are formed if the genes are strongly linked.
