In Drosophila, miniature wings (X) result from an X-linked allele that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X). Give the most likely genotypes of the parents in each of the following crosses: Male Parent Female Parent Cross #1 Cross #2 Long Miniature Genotype for male parent #1: Genotype for female parent #1: Genotype for male parent #2: Genotype for female parent #2: Long Long Male Offspring 231 Long 250 Miniature 420 long 417 Miniature Female Offspring 560 Long 0 Miniature 412 Long 415 Miniature Use Xm and X+ for the allele symbols in your answers as there is not a superscript option. Also, remember that males are hemizygous!
