In the fruit fly, vestigial wings (small and useless) and

In the fruit fly, vestigial wings (small and useless) and ebony (black) body colour are produced by two recessive genes located on different chromosomes. The normal alleles, long wings and grey body colour, are dominant. What offspring would be expected if a vestigial-winged ebony male is crossed with a homozygous normal female? If the F, from this cross were permitted to mate randomly among themselves, what offspring would be expected in the F₂?
