In a testcross involving F₁ dihybrid flies, more parental-type offspring were produced than the recombinant type offspring. This indicates:
1. Both of the characters are controlled by more than one gene.
2. The two genes are located on two different chromosomes.
3. Chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis.
4. The two genes are linked and present on the same chromosome.

The mechanism that causes a gene to move from one linkage group to another is called
