Question

What would be the phenotypes of flies that have the following combinations of genes? Again I am using all capital letters so you will have to take the various combinations of dominance and recessiveness into account when coming up with an answer

1) Flies with a broad elongated head and split legs
2) Flies with a broad elongated head and normal legs
3) Flies with a normal head and split legs
4) Flies with a normal head and normal legs
