Suppose that a gene affects the anterior morphology in house flies andis inherited as a maternal effect gene. The gene exists in a functionalallele, H, and a recessive nonfunctional allele, h, which causes a smallhead. A female fly with a normal head is mated to a true-breedingmale with a small head. All of the offspring have small heads. Whatare the genotypes of the mother and offspring? Explain your answer
