Question 72

A geneticist crossed two fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) that were both heterozygous for wing length, both possessing normal wings.

The offspring from this cross had either normal wings or vestigial wings in a phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

Calculate the expected number of fruit flies with vestigial wings in a sample of 1528 offspring flies.
