The frequency of crossing over between two linked genes is?
A. Increased during meiosis 2
B. Difficult to predict
C. Determine by whether or not they are dominant or recessive
D. The same as if they were not linked
E. greater when they are further apart on the chromosomes

This recombination of genes, called the crossing over of DNA, can cause alleles previously on the same chromosome to be separated and end up in different daughter cells. The farther the two alleles are apart, the greater the chance that a cross-over event may occur between them, and the greater the chance that the alleles are separated.
So, basically, the the frequency of crossing-over is proportional to the distance between them. Check out the link below for more info.
