In Drosophila, a cross between a male and female from a mutant strain with plum-colored eyes yields 2/3 progeny with plum-colored eyes and 1/3 progeny with red (normal-colored) eyes. A cross between a male and female from a mutant strain with stubble (short) bristles yields 2/3 progeny with stubble bristles and 1/3 with normal length bristles. Both genes are autosomal and assort independently.
Predict the ratio of progeny produced by a mating between two flies with plum-colored eyes and stubble bristles.
Give your answer as a ratio in the order plum eyes with stubble bristles:plum eyes with normal bristles:normal eyes with stubble bristles:normal eyes with normal bristles. Reduce the ratio to smallest numbers, e.g. 7:3:2:1.
