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
