Determine the wing shape phenotype has two alleles


Question: In a group of fruit flies, the gene that determines the wing shape phenotype has two alleles. The allele for straight wings (W) is dominant to the allele for curly wings (w). In the same group of fruit flies, the gene for body color also has two alleles. The allele for brown body color (B) is dominant to the allele for black body color (b). Two fruit flies that are heterozygous for both the wing and body color traits are crossed with each other. Which phenotype is likely to be most common in the offspring of this cross? You may find it useful to use a Punnett square to answer this question. Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) the straight wing, black body phenotype A the straight wing, black body phenotype (Choice B) the curly wing, black body phenotype B the curly wing, black body phenotype (Choice C) the straight wing, brown body phenotype C the straight wing, brown body phenotype (Choice D) the curly wing, brown body phenotype D the curly wing, brown body phenotype
