Step-by-step explanation:

Flies with vestigial wings can't fly, they have a weakness in their vestigial gene, on the second chromosome. These flies have a recessive changeover. Of the team of vestigial genes carried by individually fly (one from each parent), both have to be modified to produce the strange wing body.
