You have a white eyed, male fruit fly with vestigial wings and a wild type female known to be heterozygous for both traits. You know that vestigial is located on an autosome. What is the probability that a mating between these two flies will generate a female offspring with vestigial wings and white eyes?

In a rare blood type referred to as the Bombay phenotype, individuals are unable to attach the A or B antigens to their red blood cells. Individuals that are homozygous recessive for gene "H" have the Bombay phenotype and their blood type is type "O" regardless of their ABO genotype. This is an example of what extension of Mendelian inheritance?
