Question:

In Drosophila, a recessive mutation called chocolate (c) causes the eyes to be darkly pigmented. The mutant phenotype is indistinguishable from that of an autosomal recessive mutation called brown (bw). A cross of chocolate- eyed females to homozygous brown males yielded wild-type F1 females and darkly pigmented F1 males. If the F1 flies are intercrossed, what types of progeny are expected, and in what proportions? (Assume that the double mutant combination has the same phenotype as either of the single mutants alone.)
