In a fictional species of insect, eye shape is determined by a single gene with two alleles. An insect homozygous for round eyes is crossed with an insect homozygous for elongated eyes. All the F1 offspring have oval eyes. If members of the F1 generation are crossed, what percent of their offspring (F2) are expected to have round eyes?

In drosophila, normal wings (N) are dominant to vestigial wings (n) and a grey body (G) is dominant to a black body (g). The offspring of a particular cross produced 412 flies with normal wings, and 192 flies with grey bodies and 220 flies with black bodies. Which were most likely the genotypes of the parents?

In drosophila, normal wings (N) are dominant to vestigial wings (n), and a grey body (G) is dominant to a black body (g). A cross between heterozygote flies and homozygote recessive flies produced 402 grey, normal-winged flies, 416 black, vestigial-winged flies, 90 black, normal winged flies, and 92 grey, vestigial winged flies. Which of the following best explains these results?

Which of the following best describes the relationship between linked genes and the rate of crossing-over between them?
