When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. This can be attributed to the fact that:

1. The genes are located on the X and Y chromosomes.
2. Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes.
3. The genes are located on the X chromosome.
4. The genes exhibit incomplete dominance.

Drosophila melanogaster is a model organism for the study of genetics. The advantages of this organism include all the following except:

1. A long life cycle
2. A large number of progeny produced by a single mating
3. Clear differentiation between sexes
4. Hereditary variation is easily seen with low-power microscopes
