In Drosophila, the allele red eyes (bw+) is dominant to the allele for brown eyes (bw). At another gene locus on the same chromosome, the allele for thin wing veins (hv+) is dominant to the allele for heavy wing veins (hv). Flies homozygous for bw and hv+ are crossed to flies homozygous for bw+ and hv to obtain doubly heterozygous F1 progeny.Given that these two gene loci are very closely linked, the phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation should be closest to
A. 3 red eye, thin wing veins: 1 brown eye, heavy wing veins B. 1 brown eye: 1 red eye: 1 heavy wing veins: 1 thin wing veins C. 1 brown eye, heavy wing veins: 2 red eye, thin wing veins: 1 brown eye, thin wing veins D. 1 brown eye, thin wing veins: 2 red eye, thin wing veins: 1 red eye, heavy wing veins
