Fruit flies in the wild have brown bodies, red eyes, and straight wings. Many variations have been produced and used to study genetics. Consider the data below. Data 1: Traits for curly wings and black body tend to be inherited together when dihybrids for these traits are crossed. Data 2: The traits for white eyes and curly wings recombine in the expected 9:3:3:1 when dihybrids for these traits are crossed. Which explanations best explain the data? Check all that apply. The genes for eye color and body color are located on the same chromosome. The genes for wing shape and body color are located on the same chromosome. The genes for eye color and wing shape are on different chromosomes.
