In flies, red eyes (R) are dominant to brown eyes (r) and brown bodies (B) are dominant to yellow bodies (b).


A fly with genotype R r B b is mated with a fly with genotype r r b b. What percentage of offspring will have red eyes and yellow bodies?

The percentage of offspring that will have red eyes and yellow bodies would be 25%.

From the result of crossing RrBb with rrbb (see the attached Punnet's square), the genotypic ratio of the offspring along with their respective phenotypic ratio is:

  • RrBb - red eyes, brown body - 1/4
  • Rrbb - red eyes, yellow body - 1/4
  • rrBb - brown eyes, brown body - 1/4
  • rrbb - brown eyes, yellow body - 1/4

Thus, the proportion of the offspring with red eyes and yellow bodies is 1/4 or 25%
