You are conducting independent research for your Honors Thesis in a Drosophila research lab. One of the graduate student researchers has provided you with two mutant strains of Drosophila. One has scarlet eyes, and the other has brown eyes.

Crosses involving F₁ males x F₁ females yield the results shown below. You know the traits involved are autosomal, and that reciprocal parental crosses produce similar results.
