In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the following genes and mutations are known:
Wing size: recessive allele for tiny wings t; dominant
allele for normal wings T.
Eye shape: recessive allele for narrow eyes n;
dominant allele for normal (oval) eyes N.For each of the four following crosses, give the
genotypes of each of the parents.
