Independent assortment versus genetic linkage

Description
(a) For this dihybrid, four genetically different gametes are expected at 25% each when the genes assort independently. (b) When genes are linked, parental gametes are significantly more frequent than expected by chance, and their individual and combined frequencies are much greater than nonparental gametes(a) For this dihybrid, four genetically different gametes are expected at 25% each when the genes assort independently.
