True-breeding brown-eyed, short-winged female flies are crossed to true-breeding wild-type male flies with red eyes and long wings. The F1 progeny consists of wild-type females and short-winged males. An F2 is generated by interbreeding of the F1. F2 males and females have the following ratios: 3/8 red eyes, long wings 3/8 red eyes, short wings 1/8 brown eyes, long wings 1/8 brown eyes, short wings Deduce the mode of inheritance for both the eye color and wing length genes. Using clear genetic symbols, state the genotypes and describe the phenotypes of the P, F1 and F2 progeny. For the F2, include a table of genotypes of gametes of both parents and progeny genotypes and corresponding phenotypes. Would you predict that these genes are on the same chromosome?
