The fact that they consistently sort independently indicates that they are far apart on the chromosome.
The farther apart two genes are located on a chromosome, the higher the likelihood that they will be separated during genetic recombination events. This can result in the independent assortment of those genes during gamete formation.
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.
Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.
Linked genes are located close together on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together. Unlinked genes are located on different chromosomes or are far apart on the same chromosome and are inherited independently. Crossing over during meiosis can break the linkage between linked genes, allowing for new combinations of alleles to be formed.

The principle of independent assortment applies to genes located on different pairs of chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome pair. This principle states that genes located on different pairs of chromosomes or very far apart on the same chromosome are more likely to be inherited independently of each other during meiosis.
Yes, linked genes are located on the same chromosome.
Genes that are located on one sex chromosome but not the other are called sex-linked genes.

Genes are located within every chromosome.
The dumpy and sepia genes are both genes for the house fly, Drosophilia. These genes appear on the third chromosome.
Genes that are located on the same chromosome are called linked genes. These genes tend to be inherited together during cell division because they are physically close to each other on the same chromosome.
Genes for a certain trait are located on specific regions of chromosomes. Each gene occupies a particular locus on a chromosome, and variations in these genes can result in different expressions of the trait. The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is referred to as its genetic map position.
