explain why traits that are controlled by genes on the same chromosome do not always appear in the expected ratio in offspring.

Traits controlled by genes "linked" on the same chromosome
do not assort independently during meiosis . In other words,
linkage is contrary to Mendel's law of independent assortment.
Therefore,the expected typical mendelian ratios (such as 9:3:3:1) will not be seen.

You might want to change your title if you expect to get an answer. Anyone here knows it is a "question" and due to that you are asking for "help" with it.
A title like: Chromosome traits not in offspring? might insure people that know something about the subject will see it and answer it.
