In Drosophila melanogaster, black body (b) is recessive to gray body (b?), purple eyes (pr) are recessive to red eyes (p?), and vestigial wings (vg) are recessive to normal wings (v++). The loci encoding these traits are linked, with the map distances shown in the image. The interference among these genes is 0.5 . A fly with a black body, purple eyes, and vestigial wings is crossed with a fly homozygous for a gray body, red eyes, and normal wings. The female progeny are then crossed with males that have a black body, purple eyes, and vestigial wings. If a total of 1000 progeny are examined, determine the expected number of offspring that result from each crossover event.
