a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The genotypes, phenotypes and expected proportions of the F1 and F2 generation. When a “homozygous gray female” is crossed with a yellow male and F1 are intercrossed to produce F2 progeny.

Introduction:

Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly, these species is known generally as the common fruit fly or vinegar fly. They have XX-XO system of sex determination, females possess two X chromosomes, whereas male possess a single X chromosome.
