In fruit flies, the long-winged flies were self-mated. Out of 520 offspring, 130 had short wings while the remainder has long wings. The allele for long wings is dominant (W) and allele (w) represents short wings. Which is the correct pair of genotypes of the parents?
Ww x ww
Ww x Ww
WW x ww
WW x Ww
A particular characteristic is controlled by allele H and h. What are the possible genotypes of the offspring from a cross between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive parents?
