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.What would be the results of a test cross with the F1 flies?

A. 1 brown eye, heavy wing veins: 1 red eye, thin wing veins B. 1 brown eye, heavy wing veins: 2 red eye, thin wing veins: 1 red eye, thin wing veins C. 1 brown eye, thin wing veins: 2 red eye, thin wing veins: 1 red eye, heavy wing veins D. 1 brown eye, thin wing veins: 1 red eye, heavy wing veins
