In fruit flies, red eye color (R) is dominant over brown eye color (r). Two red-eyed fruit flies were mated and they produced the following offspring: 73 red-eyed flies; 27 brown-eyed flies. In the offspring, what is the approximate ratio of red-eyed to brown-eyed fruit flies?

In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?
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?

Honey Bees are unusual in that male bees (drones) have only one copy of each gene, while female bees have two copies of each gene. That is because drones develop from eggs that have not been fertilised by sperm cels. In bees, the trait of long wings is dominant over short wings, and the trait of black eyes is dominant over white eyes. If a drone with short wings and black eyes was mated to a queen bee that is heterozygous for both genes, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes of male and female offspring. What are the phenotypic ratios if we assume an equal number of male and female offspring?
