In Drosophila, males from a true-breeding stock withraspberry-colored eyes were mated to females from atrue-breeding stock with sable-colored bodies. In theF1 generation, all the females had wild-type eye andbody color, while all the males had wild-type eyecolor but sable-colored bodies. When F1 males andfemales were mated, the F2 generation was composedof 216 females with wild-type eyes and bodies, 223females with wild-type eyes and sable bodies, 191males with wild-type eyes and sable bodies, 188 maleswith raspberry eyes and wild-type bodies, 23 maleswith wild-type eyes and bodies, and 27 males withraspberry eyes and sable bodies. Explain these resultsby diagramming the crosses and calculating any relevant map distances
