During a dihybrid cross involving two linked genes (two-point testcross), 8 flies showed a recombinant phenotype, whereas 192 flies showed the parental phenotypes. The distance between the genes determined by this cross will be very close to the distance that one would determine in a three-point testcross with an additional gene between the two genes!
