The genes for miniature wings (m) and garnet eyes (g) are approximately 8 map units apart on chromosome 1 in Drosophila. Phenotypically wild-type females that were heterozygous for both loci were mated to miniature-winged males with garnet eyes.  The resulting progeny were: 38 miniature wings, red eyes 42 wild-type wings, garnet eyes 5 miniature wings, garnet eyes 5 wild-type wings and eyes The best explanation for this is:
