In a species of butterfly, long wings (A) are dominant to short wings (a), and red wings (B) are dominant to blue wings (b). The gene for wing length is on chromosome 3 and the gene for wing color is on chromosome 5. A butterfly that is heterozygous for the alleles for both traits (AaBb) is crossed with a butterfly that is homozygous recessive for both traits (aabb). Which of the following statements applies to their offspring?

Question 6 [5 points] In a species of butterfly, long wings {A} are dominant to short wings (a). and red wings {B} are dominant to blue wings {b}. The gene for wing length is on chromosome 3 and the gene for wing color is on chromosome 5. A butterfly that is heterozygous for the alleles for both traits (AaBb) is crossed with a butterfly that is homozygous recessive for both traits [aabb]. Which of the following statements applies to their offspring? O A. Offspring have red long wings, blue short wings. red short wings and blue long wings in the ratio 1:1:1:1. O B. All combinations of wing color and size are observed as a result of independent assortment. O C. All combinations of wing color and size are observed as a result of crossing oven OAand B. OAand C.
