Can someone please explain these? Also, how would I be able to tell if they are linked?

Suppose you identified two new mutations in Spartan fruit flies (Drosophila spartanensis). One mutation, \'orange body\', results in the entire body being dull orange, whereas the body color of wild type flies is tan. A second mutation, \'black wings\', shows very dark wings, whereas the wings of wild type flies are clear. Let\'s also say that you were able to culture true-breeding populations of both mutations and then you tested the inheritance of each by performing a set of reciprocal crosses with true-breeding flies. Below are the F_1 and F_2 progeny of these crosses: A. By what mode (chromosome type & dominance) is the \'orange body\' mutation inherited? B. By what mode (chromosome type & dominance) is the \'black wing\' mutation inherited?

Solution

Orange body mutation is dominant as the F1 individuals showed orange body phenotype.

Black wing mutation is dominant as the F1 individuals showed black wing mutation.

It is sex linked inheritance, as the expression of the phenotype depends on the sex of the individual
