why does more crossing over occur between two distantly linked genes than between two genes that are very close together on the same chromosome? select the two correct reasons. why does more crossing over occur between two distantly linked genes than between two genes that are very close together on the same chromosome?select the two correct reasons. two loci that are far apart are more likely to have a crossover between them than two loci that are close together. crossing over is somewhat randomly distributed over the length of the chromosome. crossing over is somewhat randomly distributed over the length of the centromeres and telomeres. crossing over frequency depends on long-range ordered hydrophobic forces. crossing over frequency depends on the flexibility of a specific chromosomal region.
