In D. melanogaster, cherub wings (ch), black body (b),

and cinnabar eyes (cn) result from recessive alleles
that are all located on chromosome 2. A homozygous
wild-type fly was mated with a cherub, black, and
cinnabar fly, and the resulting F1 females were testcrossed with cherub, black, and cinnabar males. The
following progeny were produced from the testcross:
