You set up the following dihybrid mapping cross in fruit flies. 

P e+e+ roro cq cq x ee ro+ro+ cq+cq+. After backcrossing F1 males to ee roro cq cq females, you get the following results: gray body, rough eyes, claret eyes 576; ebony body, smooth, red eyes 564. How can you explain this result?

You are interested in a new type of autosomal dominant mutation that gives purple eyes in Drosophila. You have a true-breeding purple-eyed line carrying a mutation that you call pr-1. You have isolated a second purple-eyed mutation that you call pr-2, which you have established in a true-breeding line that also carries a recessive marker st, which gives stubby legs. You cross a fly from the pr-1 line to a fly from the st, pr-2 line producing F1 females which you then cross to males from a true breeding st line (normal eyes). From this cross, 1000 progeny flies can be categorized into four different phenotypic classes:

                             

Normally, 3-factor crosses give eight different phenotypic classes, why does this particular cross give only four?
