One dominant and one recessive progeny result from a cross between heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive genes.
When two identical copies of a gene are present, you are said to be homozygous for that gene. It contrasts with a heterozygous genotype, in which the alleles are distinct.
The parent fly with black, long wings is heterozygous for wing length, while the parent fly with gray, short wings is heterozygous for body color.
The dominant V allele in fruit flies results in extended wings, but the recessive V allele results in vestigial wings.
As a result, insects with the genotypes VV or Vv will have long wings, while those with the genotype vv will just have vestiges of wings.
Therefore, 50% percent of the offspring are expected to have short wings.

A. Females only carry dominant alleles.
B. Females only have one X chromosome.
C. Males only have one X chromosome.

D. Males only carry recessive alleles.
males only have one x chromosome (d)
in sex linked traits males always express it as they have x y chromosomes and can't cover up the trait whereas females have two x chromosomes and can cover up the trait
