In fruit flies, ken– is the mutant allele of a gene and ken+ is the wild-type allele. vg- is the mutant allele of the vestigial gene and vg+ is the wild-type allele. Both phenotypes show an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Which of the following fly genotypes should result in a wild-type fly? (Select all that apply.)

Transcribed Image Text:This image contains multiple configurations of genetic traits labeled with "ken" and "vg," each paired with a "+" or "−" sign to indicate the presence or absence of certain characteristics.
For each configuration:
- **(c)**
- Top: **ken− / vg+**
- Bottom: **ken+ / vg−**
- **(a)**
- Top: **ken− / vg−**
- Bottom: **ken+ / vg+**
- **(d)**
- Left: **ken+ / ken+**
- Right: **vg− / vg−**
- **(b)**
- Top: **vg+ / vg−**
- Bottom: **ken+ / ken−**
Each configuration is separated by a line to denote a comparison or interaction between the traits. The use of plus and minus symbols (+/−) suggests a genetic or experimental setup, potentially for studies on dominance or trait inheritance.
