A dihybrid test cross results in a 50% frequency of recombinants in progeny. This shows that:
1. The two genes are most likely located on different chromosomes
2. One of the genes must be located on the X chromosome
3. The two genes are closely linked on the same chromosome
4. The two genes must be pleiotropic

1. Morgan and Sturtevant
2. Knight and Goss
3. de Vries, Correns and Tschermak
4. Avery, Macleod and McCarty
