If in houseflies the allele for green eyes is dominant over the allele for white eyes, and a heterozygous green-eyed male is mated with a white-eyed female, what is the probability that they will have green-eyed offspring?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heterozygous green-eyed male (Gw) mated with a white-eyed female (ww) can produce offspring with genotypes Gw (green-eyed) and ww (white-eyed) in a 1:1 ratio, making the probability of having green-eyed offspring 1/2.
