In Drosophila, gray body color is dominant over ebony body color,while long wings are dominant over vestigial wings. Work thefollowing crosses through the F2 generation, and determine thegenotypic and phenotypic ratios for each generation. Assumethat the P1 individuals are homozygous: (a) gray, long * ebony,vestigial, and (b) gray, vestigial * ebony, long, and (c) gray,long * gray, vestigial.
