The term for when two genes fail to assort independently is called linkage. This means that the genes are located close together on the same chromosome, causing them to be inherited together more often than not during gamete formation. This can affect the expected ratios of offspring genotype frequencies in a cross, and can be used to map the location of genes on chromosomes.
