A phenotypically wild-type female fruit fly that was hetero-zygous for genes controlling body color and wing length

Question:

A phenotypically wild-type female fruit fly that was hetero-zygous for genes controlling body color and wing length was crossed to a homozygous mutant male with black body (allele b) and vestigial wings (allele vg). The cross produced the following progeny: gray body, normal wings 126; gray body, vestigial wings 24; black body, normal wings 26; black body, vestigial wings 124. Do these data indicate linkage between the genes for body color and wing length? What is the frequency of recombination? Diagram the cross, showing the arrangement of the genetic markers on the chromosomes.
