A researcher conducted crosses between two different strains of Drosophila. When true-breeding flies with singed bristles (s) and normal wings (L) were crossed to true-breeding flies with normal bristles (S) and vestigial wings (l), all F1 offspring had normal wings and normal bristles. The F1 offspring were crossed to flies with singed bristles and vestigial wings. Which F2 offspring is/are recombinant?

(A) Singed bristles/vestigial wings only
(B) Singed bristles/normal wings only
(C) Singed bristles/normal wings and normal bristles/vestigial wings
(D) Singed bristles/vestigial wings and normal bristles/normal wings

Singed bristles/vestigial wings and normal bristles/normal wings

Explanation:

The recombinant progeny might occur due to the crossing over of the homologous chromosomes in case of the  linked genes. This progeny are different from their parent progeny.

The F1 offspring obtained from the given cross in the question results in the normal wings and normal bristles ( SsLl). This progeny was crossed with singed bristles and vestigial wings (ssll). The progeny obtained from their cross are 'Sl' and 'sL' ( parental type ) and SL' or 'sl' ( recombinant).

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

the farther away the object is from the central star (the sun) it's gravitainal pull on the object is weaker when it is farther
