Exchange of genetic material between chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called

Crossing over
In a test cross involving $F_1$ dihybrid flies, more parentaltype offspring were produced than the recombinanttype offspring. This indicates
Frequency of crossing over in a chromosome is an index of
The term “linkage” was coined by
In Drosophila, long wing and broad abdomen characters are dominant over to characters vestigeal wing and narrow abdomen. A pure breeding Drosophila having long wings and broad abdomen is crossed with a pure breeding vestigeal-winged and narrow-abdomened Drosophila. Two of the $F_1$ individuals were crossed and the following results were produced in the $F_2$ generation Long wing, broad abdomen in $482$ Drosophila. Vestigeal wing, narrow abdomen in $154$ Drosophila. Which one of the following is illustrated by these results
