InDrosophila, the normal (wild-type) body color is gray. A recessive allele for a particular autosomal gene results in apurplebody color (p). A recessive allele for a different gene on the same chromosome results in awinglessfly (w). The two genetic loci are only 12 MU apart. A true-breeding purple fly with normal wings is crossed with a true-breeding gray fly with no wings, all of the F1 offspring are gray with normal wings. If an F1 offspring with PW on one chromosome and pw on the other chromosome is mated with a purple fly that is heterozygous with wings, is there a possibility of having a wingless purple offspring?
