The experiment shown in the given figure has been carried out by Morgan to show the phenomenon of linkage and recombination. If in cross $I$, genes are tightly linked and in cross $II$, genes are loosely linked then what will be the percentage of recombinants produced in cross $I$ and cross $II$ respectively?
