8:8:0:0 and 12:2:2:1 indicate linkage (not independent assortment).

Reason: 8:8:0:0 (1:1:0:0) shows only parental classes and no recombinants (complete linkage). 12:2:2:1 deviates strongly from the 9:3:3:1 expectation (excess parental types and reduced recombinants), consistent with linkage. 9:3:3:1 is the expected ratio for independent assortment.
