**Drosophila Genetics Study**

**Experiment Overview:**

In this genetics experiment, two normal-looking Drosophila, one male and one female, are crossed. The offspring exhibit the following phenotypes:

- **Daughters:**
  - Phenotype: + + +
  - Count: 2000

- **Sons:**
  - Phenotype: + + +
  - Count: 3

**Progeny Phenotype Distribution:**

The table below details the specific combinations of phenotypes observed among the progeny, along with their respective counts:

| Phenotype Combination | Count |
|-----------------------|-------|
| a b c                 | 1     |
| + b c                 | 839   |
| a + +                 | 825   |
| a b +                 | 86    |
| + + c                 | 90    |
| a + c                 | 81    |
| + b +                 | 75    |
| **Total**             | **4000** |

The data provides insights into gene linkage and inheritance patterns in Drosophila, helping to understand the genetic makeup and phenotypic ratios resulting from this specific cross.

Introduction 

Genetics is frequently used to refer to heredity, which is the passing on of genetic traits from one generation to the next. Inheritance represents the pathway of the genetic features and their expression from one to another generation.
