Refer to the information and figure below to answer the following questions.
A certain (hypothetical) organism is diploid, has either blue or orange wings as the consequence of one of its genes on chromosome 12, and has either long or short antennae as the result of a second gene on chromosome 19, as shown in the figure.

-If a female of this species has one chromosome 12 with a blue gene and another chromosome 12 with an orange gene, and has both number 19 chromosomes with short genes, which of the following combinations of genes will her eggs have?

Since the female has one chromosome 12 with a blue gene and the other chromosome 12 with an orange gene, she is heterozygous for wing color. And since she has both number 19 chromosomes with short genes, she is homozygous for short antennae. Therefore, half of her eggs will receive the blue gene and the other half will receive the orange gene, and all of her eggs will have the short gene. Thus, the eggs will have one half blue short and one half orange short gene.
