Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a fruit fly, the gene for grey body(B) is dominant over the gene for black body(b).Two grey fruit flies were mated and they produced 75 grey body flies and 25 black body flies.What is the most likely genotype of the parents
A
bb x bb
B
Bb x Bb
C
Bb x bb
D
Bb x BB
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In fruit flies, the grey body colour is dominant to the black, and long wings are dominant to short.

Detailed explanation-2: -In fruit flies, the gene for body color has two different alleles: the black allele and the brown allele. Moreover, brown body color is the dominant phenotype, and black body color is the recessive phenotype.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Drosophila melanogaster is the most well known of fruit flies. It has four chromosomal pairs: one that determines sex and three autosomal chromosomes. Each chromosome has two arms, referred to as the left and the right.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Drosophila, white eye colour is recessive X-linked trait while red eye colour is dominant. A white eyed female is crossed with red eyed male.
