Monohybrid inheritance — practice question

In fruit flies, the allele for grey body, $G$, is dominant to the allele for black body, $g$. The outcome of a cross between two flies is shown below. Parent 1: grey-bodied fly \times Parent 2: black-bodied fly Offspring: 40 grey-bodied flies + 42 black-bodied flies What were the genotypes of the parents?

  • Aparent 1: $Gg$, parent 2: $gg$
  • Bparent 1: $gg$, parent 2: $Gg$
  • Cparent 1: $GG$, parent 2: $gg$
  • Dparent 1: $gg$, parent 2: $GG$
