Dumpy wings in fruit flies are a recessive trait. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the dumpy wing allele (one from each parent) in order to exhibit the dumpy wing phenotype. Dominant traits, on the other hand, only require one copy of the allele to be expressed. In the case of dumpy wings, the presence of the wild-type allele (normal wings) masks the expression of the dumpy wing allele, making it recessive.

In flies long wings are a dominant trait and short wings are a recessive trait. If a heterozygous long-winged fly is crossed with a short-winged fly what is the LIKELIHOOD that the offspring will cont?

When a heterozygous long-winged fly (LW) is crossed with a short-winged fly (ww), the possible genotypes of the offspring are LW and ww. This results in a 50% chance of producing long-winged offspring (LW) and a 50% chance of producing short-winged offspring (ww). Therefore, there is a 50% likelihood that the offspring will have long wings.


In fruit flies straight wings are dominant and curly wings are recessive. What will the generations look like?

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.


What is an example of a derived trait?

Ancestral traits were traits retained by a species from a common ancestor. Examples would be the wings on birds and five fingers on the human hand.


Is apterous wings sex-linked in fruit flies?

Yes, apterous wings in fruit flies are sex-linked, meaning the gene responsible for this trait is located on the sex chromosome (X or Y). In this case, apterous wings are usually associated with the X chromosome, making it more common in males (XY) than in females (XX) due to hemizygosity.


What planet has wings?

No planet in our solar system has wings. Planets are celestial bodies that do not have physical features like wings. Wings are typically associated with animals, birds or insects on Earth.

Are lobe eyes a recessive trait in drosophila?

yes, vestigial wings are recessive and autosomal.


Are apterous wings dominant or recessive?

Apterous wings are typically a recessive trait in insects. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the apterous allele to exhibit the wingless (apterous) phenotype. If an individual has one copy of the apterous allele and one copy of the dominant allele for normal wings, they will have normal wings.

What are dumpy wings in fruit flies?

Wings that a slightly smaller and shrunken and makes the flies less likely to use them for flight even though that they still have the capability to fly unlike vestigial wings. Dumpy is deemed more a behavioral trait then a physical disability towards flight.


Is apterous wings dominant in fruit flies?

No. The apterious gene is recessive.

One fruit fly is heterozygous for long wings and the other fruit flies home is the core is for short links long wings are dominant to shortenings use the pants where to find the expected percentage of?

If one fruit fly is heterozygous for long wings and the other is homozygous for short wings, the expected percentage of their offspring having long wings would be 50%. This is because when the long-winged parent passes on the dominant long-wing allele and the short-winged parent passes on the recessive short-wing allele, the offspring would have one of each allele, resulting in the offspring having long wings.


What trait gives you wings?

How do wings of penguins and puffins demonstrate convergent evolution?

No. Both are birds and their wings are a derived trait common to all birds. The wings of penguins and bats display convergent evolution.


What is an analogous trait?

An analogous trait is a characteristic or similarity that evolved separately from a common ancestor, even if said trait serves the same function in different species. One example of this trait would be wings, which are common to birds, insects and bats, despite being very different creatures. Biologists tell us that these traits evolved in this way due to the prevalence of similar ecological environments where these specimens are found.
