In Drosophila, Dichaete (D) is a chromosome 3 mutation with a dominant effect on wing shape. It is lethal when homozygous. The genes ebony (e) and pink (p) are chromosome 3 recessive mutations affecting body and eye color, respectively. Flies from a Dichaete stock were crossed to homozygous ebony, pink flies, and the F1 progeny, with a Dichaete phenotype, were backcrossed to the ebony, pink homozygotes. The results of this back cross were
