A cell spends most of its time in prophase because in prophase, the cell's chromatins are condensing and coiling into chromatids. But a cell spends more time in interphase than prophase.
The answer is; The closer two genes are on a chromosome, the lower the probability that a crossover will occur between them
The closer together two genes are on a chromosome, the higher the likelihood that they will be inherited together. This is referred to as genetic linkage. The higher the genetic linkage the lower the recombination frequency of the two genes.
