Which of the following phenotypic classes reflect offspring that were generated as a result of a recombination event?
babymother [125]

Answer:

The correct options are: A " vestigial wings, red eyes" and D "full wings, purple eyes"

Explanation:

female parent: vg+pr+/vg pr

(phenotype - full winged and red eyes)

male parent:  vgpr/vgpr

(phenotype - vestigial winged and purple eyes)

Of these traits, vestigial wings and purple eyes are recessive traits. Hence, when a recombination event occurs, the offspring can potentially have a wild type trait paired with a recessive trait.
