Homework Statement
In the fruit fly drosophila melanogaster, vestigial (partially formed) wings (vg) are recessive to normal long wings (vg+) and the gene for this trait is autosomal. The gene for the white eye trait (w = white is recessive to w+ = red) is located on the X chromosome. Suppose a homozygous white-eyed, long winged female fly is crossed with a homozygous red-eyed, vestigial winged male.
a) What will the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 flies?
b) What will the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 flies?
c) What will the genotypes and phenotypes of the the offspring of separate crosses of the F1 flies back to each appropriate parent?

The Attempt at a Solution
I know how to deal with autosomal and X linked trait questions individually but I don't know how to solve the question when both autosomal and X linked traits are involved.
Help is appreciated. Thanks
