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

(BbRr) and 50% black-bodied/vestigial wings (bbrr) because these alleles are linked. Suppose 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
