Which of the following statements are true regarding the F2 offspring of a mapping cross for three genes on the same chromosome?

Which of the following statements are true regarding the F2 offspring of a mapping cross for three genes on the same chromosome?
the alleles of each gene will assort independently making parental and recombinant allelic combinations equally likely among the F2.
F2 offspring will tend to inherit all dominant or all recessive alleles from the triheterozygous parent
Recombinant allelic combinations will occur less frequently when genes are further apart.
the recombination rate calculated between any pair of genes will never exceed 50%
double recombinant offspring will be the rarest class
assuming all three genes are genetically linked, the most common classes of F2 offspring will be those containing parental allelic combinations
