In fruit flies, a specific gene mutation causes the wings to become malformed. These wings are called vestigial because they do
not function properly. The mutated allele for vestigial wings (v) is recessive to the allele for functioning wings (V). Two fruit flies that are heterozygous for wing shape are crossed, resulting in many offspring. Which of the following would most likely describe the population of offspring?
Answer: 25% are homozygous with the dominant gene (VV), 25% are homozygous with the recessive gene (vv), and 50% are heterozygous (Vv). Only the flies with vv will display the trait.
The gene pool. This is the series and combinations of genes in the environment. This can affect the human adaption of the environment and how they cope up with the species living with them. They interact with them in a way that the species can affect one another,
