  4. In Drosophila, long wing (L) is dominant to dumpy wing (I) and grey body (G) is dominant to ebony body (g). The two genes involved are not on the same chromosome A true-breeding long-winged, ebony-bodied fly is crossed with a true-breeding dumpy-winged, grey-bodied fly As a result of interbreeding amongst the members of the F1 generation, dumpy-winged, grey-bodied flies will be present in the F2 generation in the proportion

Q. In Drosophila, long wing $(L)$ is dominant to dumpy wing $(I)$ and grey body $(G)$ is dominant to ebony body $(g)$. The two genes involved are not on the same chromosome
A true-breeding long-winged, ebony-bodied fly is crossed with a true-breeding dumpy-winged, grey-bodied fly As a result of interbreeding amongst the members of the $F_{1}$ generation, dumpy-winged, grey-bodied flies will be present in the $F_{2}$ generation in the proportion
