The wing type of a particular species of insect is determined by a sex-linked gene with two alleles, A (which is dominant) and a. Spotted wings are recessive to plain wings. Questions (b) One male and one female are chosen at random from all the offspring of the mating, and are themselves mated. (i) Show that the proportion of male offspring of this second mating that you should expect to have plain wings is. (ii) Calculate the proportion of female offspring of this second mating that you should expect to have plain wings. (iii) What proportion of plain-winged female offspring of this second mating should you expect to be genotype AA?
