However, in order for a crossing-over event to result in the re-shuffling of two alleles of the two genes shown, the crossing-over event HAS to fall between the two genes. Whether or not that happens is random, because it depends on how far the two gene loci are apart from each other along the length of the chromosome. The closer the two genes are, the lower the probability that a randomly-placed crossing-over event will fall between the two genes and reshuffle their alleles just by chance. This means that for 2 very closely-linked genes (2 genes whose loci are very near to each other on the same chromosome type), I would expect more parental than recombinant chromatids (and by extension gametes after completion of meiosis), because fewer crossing-over events would have resulted in new, recombinant combinations of alleles. higher more outside is not
