Genes assort independently if they are on different chromosomes. If a pair of genes are on the same chromosome, it depends on how far apart they are to determine the chances of them staying together or moving apart.
Crossing over.
No they do not
Genes on different chromosomes assort independently of each other by dint of the fact that they are on different chromosomes. The closer a gene is to another on the same chromosome the more likely they are to remain together even with crossing over.
