The genes for mahogany eyes and ebony body are approximately 25 map units apart on chromosome III in Drosophila
Assume that a mahogany-eyed female was mated to an ebony-bodied male and that the resulting F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to mahogany, ebony males. Of 1000 offspring, what would be the expected phenotypes, and in what numbers would they be expected?
mahogany = 375; ebony = 375; wild-type = 125; mahogany-ebony = 125
