Explanation / Answer

Answer:

The genes for body color and wing type are very close on the same chromosome

Explanation:

According to Mendel's dihybrid testcross ratio, the resultant phenotypes should be in 1:1:1:1 ratio when the genes assort independently.

The observed phenotype number are deviated from the above testcross ratio. It means that the genes are linked and present on the same chromosome.
