The genes for the recessive traits of mahogany eyes and ebony body are approximately 30 map units apart on chromosome III in Drosophila. Assume that a mahogany-eyed female was mated to an ebony-bodied male and that the resulting F1 females (all phenotypically wild-type) were then mated to mahogany, ebony males. Of 1000 offspring, what would be the expected phenotypes, and in what numbers would they be expected? Group of answer choices None of these is correct wild-type = 200; mahogany and ebony = 200; mahogany = 300; ebony = 300 mahogany = 200; ebony = 200; wild-type = 300; mahogany and ebony = 300 wild-type = 350; mahogany and ebony = 350; mahogany = 150; ebony = 150 mahogany = 350; ebony = 350; wild-type = 150; mahogany and ebony = 150

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
