One fruit fly is heterozygous for long wings, and another fruit fly is homozygous for short wings. Long wings are dominant to short wings. Using a Punnett square, find out what percent of the offspring are expected to have short wings.

Okay so for this question let’s use the letter D for long wings and d for short wings. So there will be a 50% chance that the fruit flies will have long wings and 50% chance that it will have short wings.

I hope I helped, if you don’t understand, comment and I’ll explain further. :D
