In Drosophila, vestigial (partially formed) wings (vg) arerecessive to normal long wings (vg+), and the gene for this traitis located on an autosome. The gene for the white-eye trait is onthe X chromosome. Suppose a homozygous white-eyed, long-wingedfemale fly is crossed with a homozygous red-eyed, vestigial wingedmale.

. What are the expected genotypes, phenotypes and their ratiosin the F1 flies?

P1 white, long females: ______________ X P2 red, vestigialmales: ___________________

F1 genotypes:_______________________________________________________________

F1 phenotypes:_______________________________________________________________

2. What are the expected genotypes, phenotypes and their ratiosin the F2 flies?

F1 females: _____________________ X F1 males:__________________________

3. What are the expected genotypes and phenotypes, and theratios of each of the progeny resulting from a cross between F1flies back to each parent?

F1 female: _____________________ X P2 red, vestigial male:__________________________

F1 male: _____________________ X P1 white, long female:__________________________
