Fruit flies with one allele for curly wings (Cy) and one allele for normal wings (Cy+) have curly wings. When two curly-winged flies are crossed, 2/3 of the offspring have curly wings and 1/3 have normal wings. If a curly-winged fly is mated to a normal-winged fly, how many flies of each type would you expect among 180 offspring
