Which of the following is true? A. This involves two genes, one that controls the length of the fruit and one that controls the width. B. This long allele is epistatic over the short allele. C. The long allele is dominant over the short allele. D. The long allele is incompletely dominant over the short allele.

In fruit flies, curved wings are recessive to straight wings, and ebonybody is recessive to gray body. A cross was made between truebreeding flies with curved wings and gray bodies and flies withstraight wings and ebony bodies.

Diagram the genotypes of this cross, starting with the parentalgeneration and ending with the F2 generation.B. What are the predicted phenotypic ratios of the F2 generation?C. Let’s suppose the following data were obtained for the F2 generation:114 curved wings, ebony body105 curved wings, gray body 111 straight wings, gray body114 straight wings, ebony bodyConduct a chi square analysis to determine if the experimental dataare consistent with the expected outcome based on Mendel’s laws.
