4. Black body and vestigial wing in Drosophila are controlled by recessive alleles, b and vg, respectively. The dominant alleles, b* and vg*, produce wild-type flies with grey body and normal wing. A homozygous wild-type is crossed to a homozygous fly with black body and vestigial wing. The F1 progeny (all wild-type) is test-crossed. The F2 generation is as follows: 1930 wild type 1888 black, vestigial 412 black, normal 370 grey, vestigial
