In fruit flies, the allele for ebony body color is recessive to the allele for brown body color. in a generation of fruit flies with 103 offspring, 51 males and 52 females had ebony bodies. which of the following is the best conclusion you can make about the parents of this generation? a. one parent was heterozygous for body color and the other was homozygous with a brown body. b. one parent had an ebony body and the other was heterozygous for body color. c. both parents were heterozygous for body color. d. both parents were homozygous with ebony bodies.

Suppose that on a small island off the coast of scotland, 32 percent of the population has blue eyes, which means that these individuals must be homozygous for the blue eye color gene (bb). the only other eye color found on the island is brown, and individuals that are homozygous for the brown eye color gene (bb) or heterozygous (bb) will have brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. assume this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. if 100 babies are born next year, how many of these would you expect to have brown eyes and be heterozygous? a. 58 b. 49 c. 29 d. 43
