Answer:

Answer is D "Genes for the two traits are located close together on the same chromosome, and crossing over occurred between the two gene loci"

Explanation:

Traits are distinguishing characteristics of an organism. The Phenotypic crossing of the Drosophila melanogaster specie with Gray body and long wings over that of the same specie but female with black body and apterous wings produced a total of 100 offspring, which showed a that genetic crossing were done on the closely related chromosomes of the body traits for the individual species.

How does random fertilization add to the genetic variation?
Taya2010 [7]
Genetic variation is also introduced by random fertilization of the gametes produced by meiosis. Any of the genetically unique sperm generated by a male may fertilize the genetically unique egg produced by a female. During metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes are aligned along the metaphase plate.
