A series of genetic crosses are planned to determine whether the genes for two characters are linked or unlinked. It is known from previous work that both characters exhibit a complete dominance inheritance pattern. In this particular species of elves, silver colored hair is dominant to tan colored hair, and pointed ears are dominant to rounded ears. Dihybrid silver-haired, pointed-ear elves are crossed with tan-haired, rounded-ear elves. The following phenotype frequencies are observed among the 92 offspring:
| 37 silver-haired, pointed-ear elves |
| 38 tan-haired, rounded-ear elves |
| 7 silver-haired, rounded-ear elves |
| 10 tan-haired, pointed-ear elves |
| What is the recombination frequency between these two genes? | |
| From these results one can conclude that _____________. |
