Question
You are working with a hypothetical fly and have found color and wing
mutants. Preliminary work indicates that the mutant traits are recessive and
the associated genes are not sex-linked, but beyond that, you have no
information. You first look at 2 genes, each with 2 alleles. "B" or “b" for body
color and "W" or "w" for wing surface. The red-body phenotype is dominant
to the yellow-body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled
wings.
