Usually, the parent flies will have a different genotype to the F1 generation (their offspring). For example, if the parents had WW (black eyes) and ww (white eyes), their offspring would all have Ww (black eyes). If you were experimenting further, you would want the F1 generation to cross - with Ww X Ww. If you did not remove the parental generation, you could have crosses between them and the F1 generation, which would result in different genotypes. If the parents were not removed, you could have the following crosses: Ww X WW Ww X ww WW X ww Ww X Ww The only cross that you would desire in the experiment would be F1 X F1 (Ww X Ww), which would give you the desired genotypes for the F2 generation.
If we cross a homozygous dominant fruit fly with straight wings (WW) and a homozygous recessive fruit fly with curly wings (ww), all offspring in the first generation (F1) will be heterozygous (Ww) and exhibit straight wings. If we then cross two F1 flies (Ww x Ww), the second generation (F2) will show a phenotypic ratio of 3 straight-winged flies to 1 curly-winged fly, resulting in about 75% straight wings and 25% curly wings.
To determine the genotype of the offspring with orange eyes and white skin, we note that orange eyes (o) are recessive, meaning the genotype must be homozygous recessive (oo). Similarly, white skin (w) is also recessive, so the genotype for skin color must also be homozygous recessive (ww). Therefore, the genotype of the offspring is oo ww.
PP X ww or Pw X ww Because all Purple flower plants are dominant and express the color purple. This can be seen in a homozygous cross, or a heterozygous cross, ( shown above ) White plants, to breed true, must be in homozygous condition.
The genotypes produced from a cross between Ww and Ww would be: WW Ww Ww ww -The cross between these two genotypes would produce gametes with genotypes in a 1:2:1 ratio.
It would look like this. --¦ W W -------------- w¦ Ww Ww w¦ Ww Ww All the offspring would be black-furred, all carrying one dominant gene and one recessive.

When crossing two wavy-haired individuals, represented by the alleles W (wavy) and w (straight), a Punnett square would show the possible genotypes of their offspring. The potential combinations would be WW (wavy), Ww (wavy), and ww (straight). Specifically, the Punnett square would yield a 1:2:1 ratio, with 75% of the offspring expected to have wavy hair (either WW or Ww) and 25% with straight hair (ww).
The offspring of a true breeding white flowering plant will also display white flowers because it carries two copies of the white flower gene. These offspring will be homozygous for the white flower trait and will consistently produce white flowers when they reproduce.

To determine the genotype of the offspring with orange eyes and white skin, we note that orange eyes (o) are recessive, meaning the genotype must be homozygous recessive (oo). Similarly, white skin (w) is also recessive, so the genotype for skin color must also be homozygous recessive (ww). Therefore, the genotype of the offspring is oo ww.
There is no such thing as a "purebred" white cat. White and black are just colours, not breeds. For a start, there are two genes that can make a cat white: The usual being dominant and therefore cannot be carried by a black cat, and the recessive albino. My guess is we are only talking about the recessive allele, so we have a black cat carrying albino (Cc) and a pure albino (cc). In this case half the kittens would be white (cc) and half would be black (Cc). Forgetting the albino gene, the black cat would not be carrying white at all (ww), the pure white cat would be dominant (WW), and all the offspring would be white (Ww). In life I would say the purewhite cat is most likely dominant and if the black cat carries the albino allele or not it makes no difference; all offspring would be white.
No, not all animals need to mate to have offspring.
