A scientist studying Drosophila received three different mutants that all had tiny wings. When flies with the r1 mutation were crossed with flies with the r2 mutation, all offspring had tiny wings. When flies with the r2 mutation were crossed with flies with the r3 mutation, all offspring had wild-type wing size. What wing size would you expect if the scientist crossed flies with the r1 mutation with flies with the r3 mutation, and why?
