The fact that they consistently sort independently indicates that they are far apart on the chromosome.

They are in the same linkage group
Chrones Disease.. I think :)
The farthest apart two genes are located on a chromosome the less likely they are to be inherited together. If two genes are on the same chromosome and rarely assort independently the genes are probably located close to each other.
The further apart two genes are on a chromosome, the less likely they are to be separated by a recombination (crossing-over) event.
Linked genes are closely located on the chromosome while unlinked genes not closely located. Linked genes travel together as a result of their closeness while unlinked genes move randomly.
The law of independent assortment applies only to genes that are located on different chromosomes or are far apart on the same chromosome. Allele are alternative forms of a gene.
Genes located on the X or Y chromosome are referred to as sex-linked genes. This is because the inheritance of these genes is dependent upon the sex of the individual. For example, only males can inherit genes located on the Y chromosome (because males have XY and females have XX).

Genes on the same chromosome are said to be linked.
Two genes that are almost always found in the same gamete are probably located near each other on the same chromosome. Crossing over is more likely to occur with genes that are farther apart on the same chromosome.
Genes are located within every chromosome.

It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
