In fruit flies, a specific gene mutation causes the wings to become malformed. these wings are called vestigial because they do not function properly. the mutated allele for vestigial wings (v) is recessive to the allele for functioning wings (v). two fruit flies that are heterozygous for wing shape are crossed, resulting in many offspring.

which of the following would most likely describe the population of offspring?
about half of the offspring population has functioning wings, and the other half of the population has vestigial wings.

the majority of the offspring population has vestigial wings.

all of the offspring population have functioning wings.

the majority of the offspring population has functioning wings.
