In Drosophila, the wings are normally long and straight. The recessive autosomal mutation a causes vestigial wings. The recessive x-linked allele c causes curled wings. 

A.) Predict the f1 genotypes and phenotypes for each of these matings. 

P1: AACY x aacc

F1: Males: AacY (Curled)  Females: AaCc (Vestigial)

P1: aacY x AACC

F1: Males: AaCY (Vestigial)  ; Females: AaCc (Vestigial) 

B.) if the F2 phenotypic ration from inbreeding the f1 of the these croses is 

Females: 3 Straight: 1 Vestigial

Males: 3 Straight : 3 curled : 2 Vestigial

Which cross in part A provided the f1 parents?

C. If 20 of the f2 vestigial wing males in part B were bred with true breeding long curled wing females what kinds of daughters would be produced?
