Show how breeding females of the vermilion/brown, cinnabar/brown, and scarlet/brown double mutants with males of the scarlet strain (instead of the cinnabar strain) would have also enabled us to differentiate between the three double mutant Drosophila strains. Include the genotypes of the breeding partners and the offspring, and the phenotypes of the offspring
