You set up a cross between a male fruit fly with lobe eyes and a true breeding female fruit fly with reduced bristles and disrupted wings. In the F1 offspring you see the all the flies have WT bristles and WT wings. However, half the flies have WT eyes and half the flies have lobe eyes. You take 20 of the F1 female flies with lobe eyes and mate them to 20 true breeding male flies with reduced bristles and disrupted wings and observe the following offspring: 169 lobe eyes and reduced bristles 137 lobe eyes and disrupted wings 637 reduced bristles and disrupted wings 158 reduced bristles 36 wildtype 174 disrupted wings 657 lobe eyes 32 lobe eyes reduced bristles and disrupted wings Fruit flies are unusual in that the male fruit flies do not undergo crossovers during meiosis. If you had taken 20 of the F1 Males with lobe eyes and crossed them to 20 females that were true breeding for reduced bristles and disrupted wings what phenotypes and in what proportions would you expect in the offspring?
