$A$ pure breeding pea plant with the dominant phenotype of character $A$ and recessive phenotype of character $B$ was crossed with another pure breeding plant with the recessive phenotype of $A$ and dominant phenotype of character $B$. An offspring of this cross was crossed with a homozygous recessive for both the characters $A$ and $B$. The following results were obtained:
$22$ were phenotypically dominant for $A$ and recessive for $B$.
$4$ were phenotypically dominant for both $A$ and $B$.
$4$ were phenotypically recessive for both $A$ and $B$.
$24$ were phenotypically recessive for $A$ and dominant for $B$.
These results show that:

Alleles of different genes that are on the same chromosome may occasionally be separated by a phenomenon known as

Genes $A$ and $B$ are linked. What will be the genotype of the offspring produced by a cross between $AB/ab$ and $ab/ab$?

The recombination frequency between genes $B$ and $A$ is $5\%$. The recombination frequency between genes $A$ and $C$ is $15\%$. What is the possible sequence of these genes on the chromosome?

Assertion: In case of incomplete linkage,linked genes show new combinations along with parental combinations.
Reason: In case of incomplete linkage,linked genes are separated by crossing over.
