The genes ebony body (e) and pink eye (p) are recessive mutations on chromosome III. Flies from a Dichaete stock were crossed to homozygous ebony, pink flies, and the F₁ progeny, with a Dichaete phenotype, were backcrossed to the ebony, pink homozygotes. Using the results of this backcross shown in the table, Phenotype Number Dichaete 401 ebony, pink 389 Dichaete, ebony 84 pink 96 Dichaete, pink 2 ebony 3 Dichaete, ebony, pink 12 wild type 13 Diagram this cross, showing the genotypes of the parents and offspring of both crosses.
