vestigial fly crosses with ebony fly, the expected genotype of F1 offspring are ?
genes responsible for the vestigial wings and ebony body are located on the autosomes.
let the alleles be vg+- wildtype, vg- vestigial, eb+- ebony, eb- ebony
vestigial fly is homozygous for the vg so the genotype is vgvgeb+eb+ and the genotype of the ebony fly is vg+vg+ebeb.
vestigial * ebony
vgvgeb+eb+ * vg+vg+ebeb
vg+vgeb+eb (F1)
F1 is heterozygous at both loci, so both genes have functional alleles of both genes so the phenotype of the progeny is wildtype.
expected genotype of F1 progeny is vg+vgeb+eb.
