Which of the following statements is not true of two genes that show 50% recombination frequency?

If the genes are showing 50% recombination, there are two  possibilities:

 1) Both the genes are present on two non-homologous chromosomes and therefore showing independent assortment.

2) Both the genes are present on the same pair of homologous chromosomes but far apart where possibility of linkage is almost zero.

Both maximum crossing over and independent assortment give rise to 50% recombinant gametes
