Asked by Blaine

Some fruit flies are born with curly wings which makes them unable to fly. It has been shown that curly wings are caused by a dominant gene which can be represented by the symbol W, while the recessive normal wing gene is represented by the symbol w. If a parent fly with the genotype WW is crossed with a parent of the genotype Ww, what percentage the offspring will have curly wings?

A — 100%.

All offspring get a W from the WW parent; the other parent gives W or w. So offspring are WW or Ww, both show the dominant curly-wing trait.
