In fruit flies the allele for long wings (l) is dominant and the allele for short wings (l) is recessive. what is the likely genotype of a fruit fly with short wings?

The likely genotype of fruit fly with short wings is (ll).

Explanation:

There are two types of traits, Dominant and recessive. For a dominant trait only single copy of gene is sufficient for a phenotype to appear. So LL and Ll both will result in long wings. While in a recessive trait both copies should be identical for the phenotype to appear. only ll genotype will result in short wing fruit fly.

the law of original horizontality explains:   why rocks appear in layers. correct answer: b the law suggests that all rock layers are originally laid down (deposited) horizontally and can later be deformed.   the principle is used by geologists to make assumptions about the relative ages of sedimentary rocks.
