The genes for red eyes along with gray bodies are close together, which is why red-eyed fruit flies’ bodies tend to be gray. The Mendel law that it violates is independent assortment. Crossing over can affect linkage because if a chromosome it changes the genes, therefore making more recombinants available. The more space genes have between each other, the higher the rate of crossing over is. Meanwhile if there isn’t much space, the chances of crossing over isn’t very
