In fruit flies, long wings are dominant and vestigial wings are recessive. If a long-winged fruit fly that is heterozygous mates with a fruit fly that has vestigial wings, which percentage of their offspring will have vestigial wings?. Single choice.

In fruit flies, the allele for vestigial wings is recessive to the allele for normal wings. In a generation of fruit flies, 18 males and 15 females with vestigial wings are produced, and 43 males and 44 females with normal wings are produced. Which of the following is the best conclusion you can make about the parents of this generation? (2 points) Select one: a. Both parents were heterozygous for wing type. b. One parent was heterozygous for wing type and the other was homozygous with normal wings. c. Both parents were homozygous with normal wings. d. One parent had vestigial wings and the other was heterozygous for wing type.

In fruit flies, the allele for vestigial wings is recessive to the allele for wild-type wings, and the allele for white eyes is recessive to the allele for red eyes. The gene controlling wing type is carried on an autosome, whereas the gene controlling eye color is carried on the X chromosome. A true-breeding female with wild-type wings and white eyes is crossed with a male with vestigial wings and red eyes. What proportion of the offspring are expected to be males with wild-type wings and white eyes?
