In fruit flies an autosomal dominant allele results in red eyes while the recessive allele of that gene results in pink eyes. A pink eyed male is crossed to red eyed female and a red offspring results. If that red eyed fly is crossed to a pink eyed fly, what percent of the offspring will have red eyes?

Expert Solution

Step 1
1.) Given, in fruit flies red eye (AA or Aa) is autosomal dominant to pink eye (aa) which is recessive.
Now, in parental generation, a pink eyed male (aa) crossed with red eyed female (AA or Aa) producing a red offspring (Aa), which must be heterozygous since, pink eyed male can only pass a recessive allele (a). Again that heterozygous red eyed (Aa) offspring of first generation is crossed with an pink eyed (aa) fly. So, the possible offspring in next generation will be 50 % red eyed (Aa) and 50 % pink eyed (aa) fly.
Hence, 50% of the offspring will have red eyes.
Hence, correct option is (C) 50
