In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, wild type eye color isa brick red color and is produced by the action of two genes, oneproducing red color, the other brown. Vermilion is an X-linkedrecessive mutation that results in a bright red eye. Brown is anautosomal recessive mutation that results in a brown eye. Fliescarrying both the vermilion and brown mutations produce no pigmentand have white eyes. True breeding Vermilion eyed females arecrossed to brown eyed males
a. Determine the genotype of the parental flies
b. Diagram the cross and determine the F1 genotypic andphenotypic ratios
c. Diagram the cross when the F1 progeny are mated to produce anF2 generation. Determine the F2 genotypic and phenotypic ratios.You must correctly use the forked line method (branch diagram).
