In the cross shown here, involving two linked genes, ebony ( e ) and claret ( ca ), in Drosophila , where crossing over does not occur in males, offspring were produced in a 2 + : 1 ca : 1 e phenotypic ratio: 11eb563d_4d36_2624_a8c8_fdc954344922_SM1220_00 These genes are 30 units apart on chromosome III. What did crossing over in the female contribute to these phenotypes?
