Complete question:
After you complete college, you decide to marry an entomologist. While on your honeymoon with your spouse in Costa Rica, you come across a new insect species. Upon getting approval from the Costa Rican government, you and your entomologist take a few male and female insects back to the US so you can study them. You pick a female insect with a purple body and green eyes, while your spouse chooses a male insect with an orange body and brown eyes. Back in the lab, you and your spouse breed the insects so that you, a geneticist, can understand how body color and eye color are inherited among this newly discovered species. Your crosses results in the following progeny:
After looking at these results, what can you conclude about the inheritance of body and eye color in these insects
Answer:
