When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. This can be attributed to the fact that:
1. | The genes are located on the X and Y chromosomes. |
2. | Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes. |
3. | The genes are located on the X chromosome. |
4. | The genes exhibit incomplete dominance. |

In a fruit fly, the eye colour trait is located on X-chromosome and the vestigial wing trait is located on an autosome.
