B) they are far apart on a chromosome and crossing over occurs very rarely between the genes
C) they are far apart on a chromosome and crossing over occurs frequently between the genes

Accepted Answer

Syntenic genes can assort independently if they are far apart on the same chromosome and crossing over occurs frequently between them, allowing them to behave as if they are on different chromosomes.
