In flies, long wings are a dominant trait, and short wings are a recessive trait. Medium wings are the heterozygous
trait. Based on this information, if a homozygous long-winged fly is crossed with another a heterozygous'fly, their
offspring will have which percentages for long, medium, and short wings? Assume random chromosome segregation.

A)
25% long, 75% medium, 0% short
B)
50% long, 25% medium, 25% short
50% long, 50% medium, 0% short
D)
