The offspring of two heterozygous gray-bodied, normal-winged flies should be 50% graybodied/

normal wings (BbRr) and 50% black-bodied/vestigial wings (bbrr) because these alleles are
linked. If a small number, say 15%, of the offspring are instead black-bodied with normal wings, this
is most likely the result of:
a. crossing-over.
b. incomplete dominance.
c. codominance.
d. an error in meiosis.
e. mutation.
