If a white eyed male fruit fly were crossed with a heterozygous red eyed female fruit fly what ratio of genotypes would be expected in the offspring?

you have a 1:3 chance of the offspring having white eyes

What is the pattern of sex linked inheritance?

In humans sex linked traits are passed on the X chromosome. (For the purpose of this discussion the trait being passed is recessive.) This means that a male parent cannot pass the characteristic on to his male offspring, but he can pass the trait on to his female offspring. The female parent can pass the trait on to any of her offspring. Both parents must carry the allele for the sex-linked trait (and pass it on) in order for a female child to have the characteristic. Male children that get the trait from their mother will have the trait no matter what the genetics of the father. If the female parent is heterozygous for the trait 50% of her male children will have the characteristic no matter the father's genetics for that trait. Assuming that the characteristic is not lethal and both parents are "carriers" (keep in mind that the father displays the trait and a heterozygous mother will not)... 50% of the sons will have the trait, 50% of the sons will not have the trait, 50% of the daughters will be homozygous for the trait and 50% will by heterozygous "carriers".


In humans straight toes S is dominant over curled toes s What would be the result of a cross between a recessive male and a heterozygous female?

The resulting offspring will have 50% chance of having straight toes and being heterozygous, and 50% chance of having curled toes and being recessive.

In humans widow's peak (W) is dominant over straight hairline (w). If a heterozygous male marries a female with a straight hairline what percent of their children can be expected to have widow's peak?

50% of their children are expected to have a widow's peak. When a heterozygous male (Ww) with a widow's peak gene marries a female with a straight hairline (ww), their offspring have a 50% chance of inheriting the widow's peak gene from the father.
