The normal eye color of Drosophila is red, but strains in which all flies have brown eyes are available. Similarly, wings are normally long, but there are strains with short wings. A female from a pure line with brown eyes and short wings is crossed with a male from a normal pure line. The F1 consists of normal females and short-winged males. An F2 is then produced by intercrossing the F1. Both sexes of F2 flies show phenotypes as follows:

Are genes for eye color and wing length x link or autosome? 

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. Eye color gene is x-linked and the wing length is autosome

  2. Eye color gene is Auosome and the wing length is X-linked

  3. both genes are x link

  4. both genes are autosome
