In fruit flies, the gene for red eyes (R) is dominant and the gene for sepia eyes (r) is recessive. If a red-eyed heterozygous f

ly (Rr) mates with a sepia-eyed homozygous fly (rr), what are the possible genotypes of their offspring? (Hint: You many want to complete a Punnett square.)
Rr only

RR, Rr, and rr

Rr and rr

RR and Rr

The answer is Rr and rr.

We know:
r - recessive allele
R - dominant allele
RR - dominant homozygote with red eyes
Rr - heterozygote with red eyes (since one dominant allele R can mask recessive allele r)
rr - recessive homozygote with sepia eyes

Heterozygote Rr can give to the offspring either dominant allele R or recessive allele r. Recessive homozygote rr can give to the offspring only recessive allele r (take a look at the uploaded image of Punnett square).
After crossing the parents:
Parents:        Rr    x     rr
Offspring:  Rr    rr    Rr    rr

So:
2 out of 4 offspring will be with heterozygous with red eyes Rr: 2/4 = 0.5 = 50%
2 out of 4 offspring will be with homozygous with sepia eyes rr: 2/4 = 0.5 = 50%

Answer: 3. adenine (A, green), thymine (T, red), cytosine (C, orange), and guanine (G, blue). 4. adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) — are also found in DNA. 5. A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). 6.  food crops like soy and corn that have been genetically modified for pest and herbicide resistance. These crops are widely known as “GMOs” (genetically modified organisms). 7. There are two differences that distinguish DNA from RNA: (a) RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the slightly different sugar deoxyribose (a type of ribose that lacks one oxygen atom), and (b) RNA has the nucleobase uracil while DNA contains thymine. brainliest?
