Can i please get help with the answer and please show me the work with an explaintion so I can understand 1. In the fruit fly, very dark (ebony) body color is determined by the recessive e allele. The e+ allele produces a normal, wild-type, honey colored body. In heterozygotes, a dark marking called a trident can be seen on the thorax of the body but otherwise the body is honey-colored.2. What kind of inheritance would produce this trident marking?3. When female e+e flies are crossed to male e+e files, what is the probability that the progeny will have the trident marking? Write your answer as a reduced fraction - e.g 1/164. A second gene D, when homozygous recessive, can produce a white colored trident marking in those flies capable of making a trident marking. When two heterozygotes for these two genes are crossed, how many white trident flies are produced? Write your answer as a reduced fraction - e.g 1/165. How many of the resulting flies would have a dark trident marking? Write your answer as a reduced fraction - e.g 1/16

An allele is a variant form of a gene.

The second gene codes for presence of hair with H=hairy (dominant) and h=hairless (recessive).
