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.

-A female with a paternal set of one orange and one long gene chromosome and a maternal set comprised of one blue and one short gene chromosome would be expected to produce which of the following types of eggs after meiosis?

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes segregate and each gamete receives one of the two alleles for each gene. In this case, the female has one orange and one long allele on one chromosome (paternal) and one blue and one short allele on the other chromosome (maternal). During meiosis, these chromosomes will separate, and each daughter cell will receive one of each type of chromosome. Therefore, each egg produced by this female would have a 1/4 chance of receiving either the blue long, blue short, orange long, or orange short combination of alleles.
