I've been given a data set of the F2 progeny of drosophila from a cross between two homozygous parents (P generation, not F1, and I'm not told what alleles they have). I am supposed to propose a method of inheritance and prove it using the Chi Square Test. I've tried to work it out, but I keep finding it impossible to obtain this outcome if the parents are both homozygous. Please help!

Wild type males: 60
Wild type females: 108
Orange eyes males: 19
Orange eyes females: 33
Black body males: 63
Black body, orange eyes males: 17

The mutant alleles can be dominant or recessive, and the trait can be autosomal or x-linked (Obviously x-linked in this case).

Thanks!
