Suppose that the eye color and wing shape genes assort independently (they are not linked, i. e., they are located on different chromosomes). In a mating between a female with the genotype w+m+/wm and a male of genotype wm/wm what percentage of the F1 progeny will have a non-parental genotype?

    w+m+/wm x wm/wm = 1/2 w+m+/wm + 1/2 wm/wm

    The percentage will be 50%

    Explanation:

    If the genes are not linked, the frecuency will have 1/2 (50%) because it is the probability of segregation in the second meiotic division
