Using Pearson biologylabsonline website. Performed cross of wild female X brown eye, dumpy wing male and backcrossed F1 wild female offspring with P1 male.
These were the results:

                                Parents     (F1 femals & P1 male)                           

                      (Female: +) x (Male: BW;DP)                       

                               Offspring    (backcross offspring)

Here is what I don't understand, and the answer I need: How do these genes show independent assortment and what evidence does these data provide to support the answer to this question?

Numbers should be equally probably is independent assortment is taking place.

Without really looking at the genes in this particular question, let's say you have: Aa, Ab, Ba, Bb

You will need two generations of breeding. (Aa, Ab, Ba, Bb) X (Aa, Ab, Ba, Bb) on the second generation , all 16 will be equally probable at a ratio of 9:3:3:1 phenotype.
