Answer #1

Assume that the gene coding for vestigial wings is v and the gene coding for normal wings is V. Similarly, gene coding for red eyes is W and the gene coding for white eyes is w. Cross between a female fly with vestigial wings and male fly with white eyes will have the offspring with the following genotypes.

WX WX vv * wx Y VV --à WX wx Vv (1/2, Normal winged, red eyed females), WX Y Vv (1/2, Normal winged, red eyed males)
